In reply to the discussion: Start schooling later than age five, say experts [View all]You're talking about a number of issues.
1. Where to live -- many folks aren't in good enough economic shape to pick the kind of neighborhood that used to be a given for many. That said, I lived in the country growing up and didn't have kids around either except for my brother. My kids are much more social in our suburban neighborhood than I ever was (or will be).
2. Electronic games -- you may be viewing them but you have no idea how they are using it. They are creative, they interact with others in games etc ...
3. Getting along with others -- I don't see how games stop that. My daughter and son had friends over after school today. The girls were just chatting and playing guitar (they are older), they boys were playing Wii together. On weekends they ride bike plenty and also have sports leagues. Both of my kids are scouts - they have community service, camping, and assorted other activities.
I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt with your first post but upon further reflection I think you're just bitching about something you know absolutely nothing about.
