I see it as constantly in evaluation and needs to consider the child's and parent's situation, so wouldn't presume a one size fits all approach. As they age and friend groups change so will our strategy. I am going to be tougher on social media as I see that as inherently flawed.
We have tried introducing some TV during the week and the negative effects were very noticeable. There's a lot of creative energy that needs to be used and screen time doesn't fulfil that, even Minecraft.
At school the group of children who play creatively is bigger than the group who play based on games, so it's not making them total pariahs. I also think it is teaching them to be able to cooperate and negotiate within an open and shared play environment, which I see as the foundation for how they'll interact when they are older.
- antasvara 5y agoMakes perfect sense! It's encouraging to hear that kids still play creatively.
