Growing up we definitely couldn't play on the streets, since cars were everywhere, sports and entertainment were far away and expensive and schools we a toxic social environment.
Computers got relatively cheap (we didn't own the latest and greatest) and provided quite a lot of fun. I'd probably do much worse if I avoided them.
Maybe concerned parents would do better if they lobbied communities to provide better environments for children - more opportunities for fun, safer and less controlling.
- tempodox 11y agoThese thoughts are all valid, but they don't apply to you as an under-two-years-old. The brain development that takes place in early childhood is as once-in-a-lifetime as it gets. If you miss or destroy something here, you ruin people for life. Better environments for children would be a universal plus either way.
