I saw something on this site that got me to thinking about how different my dd's growing years are from my own. We were city dwellers but I remember my childhood being filled with pollywogs, crayfish,hornets nests, huge games of hide and seek, ice skating, and foursquare. But dd's life is full of computers, cell phones and mp3's. While I am glad that we can manage to afford all of this technology for her I can't help but feel that she is missing out on a great part of life yet none of today's kids seem to miss any of that fun and none of them have or miss all of the neighboorhood friendships that big outdoor games require. Of course their world is filled with virtual friends but when that is almost all you have , well, it just seems very sad to me.
