four hours a week in preindustrial cultures This makes no sense to me. Are they saying 15th century kids only interacted with other kids 4 hours a week?

This makes no sense to me. Are they saying 15th century kids only interacted with other kids 4 hours a week?
- Mirioron 7y agoWhy is that weird? If you lived on a farm back then the only other kids your kids will meet are their siblings and maybe some close neighbors (that will be like family). Nowadays they basically have a mandatory 30 hours of meeting other kids that are not as close as family.
- watwut 7y agoBut they were definitely in touch with them more then 4 hours a week.
- ajuc 7y agoHow? When there's light you work, when it's dark you sleep. Only sunday's free.
- baud147258 7y agoIn preindustrial cultures, you'd get a lot more free than just the sundays, since most religious celebration were holidays.
- simonh 7y agoIf peers are kids your own age, then that makes sense. Your siblings aren't the same age, they're not your peers - you don't see them as equals and they don't influence you on the same terms. I'm guessing though, it's not very clear.
