Great advice. I'm not a parent (yet) but reading your comment it strikes me that playing outdoors is safer than it was when I was a kid in the 90s, but is more discouraged. Playing online is actually more dangerous than it was in the 90s/00s but is more encouraged.
- hiptobecubic 4y agoUnfortunately, playing online has pretty much become critical competency-training for life, replacing playing outside which used to be the same.
- ethbr0 4y agoI'd hazard playing outside is still critical competency-training for a mentally well-adjusted life. From personal observation of {plays outside some of the time} vs {never plays outside}, the latter definitely have more neuroses.
- karencarits 4y agoBut be aware that the opposite causation may also play a part: neurotic traits/predispositions/parents are likely to affect how and where you play
