[quote=Anonymous]We don’t have any video games, social media, or iPads that can be used for entertainment in our house. Our kids are 7 and almost 10. On play dates with friends they go bowling, ice skating, have movie nights, play outside, ride bikes, build forts, go to the pool, play board/card games, do crafts, etc. It doesn’t seem to have a big social downside so far. I am pretty old school. My parents raised me in the 80s with no TV. They were kind of hippie and had their own garden, we took music and creative writing lessons, we played outside a lot. Times are different but I am trying to give my kids that kind of childhood with very hands on experiences. I also worry about how addictive these experiences are by design. Not a good idea to set developing minds up for addiction.[/quote]
