What we are doing to our children is really scary, I would agree. Children who have enough food to eat but live in the third world would seem better off than our own, overstimulated, overprivileged children according to this article. At least they can play in the traditional ways of children through the eons. I have read that children entering kindergarten no longer know how to do imaginative play. That really is frightening. I do think responsible parents should take this all into consideration for their own children. We didn't even have a tv until Grainnette was in school, because I considered it harmful for a preschooler. Then it was severely limited. Sometimes it seems like parents don't even think. Children need time to do nothing, to dream.
