Hi Sue, 

Your comments made me think of this article I read this weekend about screen time and social skills...

Made me think about the habits of my fifth grader. . .Thanks for the conversation. . .

Thanks Irene. I found it interesting that the developers of the games were very protective of their own children's development and time with technology.  However, it's very possible that the consumers of their products will not be as careful.  Even though I love technology, I worry about the facelessness of our children's interactions and how much of the real world they are missing. How do we impart the  notiion of balance to busy, stressed parents.
