The children I know are now playing online games with their friends. Instead of going to the park and still playing, they're at home talking on mic/chat and doing things online. Are things like 'resolve disputes' and 'planning time' still possible? Seems like it'd be even easier to communicate and discuss with the added benefit of less violent/aggressive confrontation.
