> The idea that you should interact so much with your peers is kind of strange to be honest. Is it really healthy for kids to interact regularly with their peers? Oh yes. Social skills are vitally important. You have to learn those by doing. > Historically, kids would learn to work on the farm, attend church, etc and they'd see other children, but most of the time they'd be learning from adults how to act and strive for. I don't think that's even true. I think historically kids were told to go away/be quiet until they were old enough to be productive. I also think that we're producing better socialized kids these days.
