Hi Sue, 

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

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/24/opinion/sunday/your-phone-vs-your-heart.html

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.
