[quote=Anonymous]Just my 2 cents: childhood was very different in the 80s and 90s than today. I grew up in the Maryland suburbs and the neighborhood raised you as much as your parents did. If you didn’t want to be unbearably bored you had to make friends which meant you had to learn to get along, how to pitch in and how to treat and speak to people. Now with screens these kids will never get bored and never learn to socialize. So parents have to be intentional and forceful in providing spaces for play. The parents I know whose kids are duds seem like they don’t understand that what was once automatic now must be planned and executed. [/quote]
