Hello, Why don't children play outside with friends anymore, like in their father's or grandfather's time?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOlnCbWMfHY

I saw a film, feel free to take a look above.

Your opinions and answers are welcome and requested, this is a topic for parents.

Hello, my question is why children my age, or younger ones like my brothers, don't play properly anymore.

It's different for us, we live in the country and yes, we still play outside a lot with our best friends and my younger brothers with their friends.

We all have a computer, smartphone and TV in our room.

But somehow we get bored, so we just call a friend and ask if we want to play and we meet up in the village or right here on our farm.

Dad or mom would pull the plug on us if we played on the computer for more than two hours.

Dad said your friends are out there, they're more important than the computer, take your brothers with you and go out.

We like to play together in the hayloft or behind our stables on the soft meadow.

We like to play cops and robbers with friends, or jump into the hay from the top of the hayloft, or play fight with boys in a soft haystack.

Building something, building a hut yourself, together with your best friends and siblings.

During the summer holidays, we go camping with our friends along with the younger friends of my twin brothers.

There in the tent just among friends and brothers, sleeping together and helping and keeping each other busy, sometimes without parents, just friends.

Swimming and romping at the lake and enjoying friendship together.

My hobbies are water polo and BJJ wrestling at school, and I was active in the village volunteer fire department as a youth firefighter and before that in the children's fire department.

That's how it is with us.

But why is it like this with other children here in the country? Who still goes out to play with friends and really have fun?

Kind regards, Felix 11y

So here with us in the city there is that which play football or basketball, skate or make other things, even the very little ones at us on the playground. But generally longed for the whole society it becomes really less. The use of social media and streaming services as well as gaming continues to slide towards the younger, which is certainly also true of sex.

In principle, it can no longer be completely stopped and not completely undone the current state. But one can clarify and improve the handling of these things and provide them in the future. This starts in the parents’ house, goes over the children’s ridges to the school and the training and even the profession.

Today, there are companies that actively promote social cooperation in their factories, which I think is quite impressive. We must promote and strengthen this from the beginning to the end. I think we were pretty negligent in the last few decades. But there is an extreme problem and this is clearly shown in the movie “The Social Dilemma”.

We are sometimes extremely dependent on any kind of social media and if they are just emails. AI will also play a very important role in the future, even in the social field, I have no doubt about it. We need to observe these developments very closely and to adapt them to the situation. Nevertheless, I have to keep thinking about what Elon says that we are just the bootloader.

Erlich tells me that someone who wants to transfer his mind to a cyborg is quite afraid if I keep thinking about the future of humanity. We should be really very careful in dealing with AI in the future and also things that are already underway are rethinking again. Everyone still has it in the hands of their own children and their behaviour and you should think about it well.

This is my personal opinion.

Peace

That sounds all very nice and Familary, I envy you to be immortal, because I myself rather don’t know that. But I am also happy for you and all the others in your family. It is always good to read something like this, because in general my view of the world is dark. When I read something like that, it always reminds me to look again at the beautiful things. Thank you for that;-)

I think that parents are getting more and more cautious and fewer cliques – at least in older children.

Often it is said that an adult should always look at it – told me about an acquaintance that at the time the whole neighborhood had the kids “in the feeling/eye”.

In cities this is becoming more difficult, only in some housing estates it works a bit.

I may be someone who doesn’t do that anymore…

I used to play outside until I was 14, even in the rain.

But then the computer came to get it first with 13 and then zoomed a lot… with 16 started working…

Now I’m hardly gonna get to the zoking… work so even in a workshop in the basement of my parents…

But yes, I have few social contacts… unfortunately because I couldn’t care for them.

Yes, only unfortunately, all friendships were always only for a short time because they have usually become assholes and fell back. I have 1 2 friends standing behind me

Control of many parents

Parents tend to become more and more cautious. And also the children simply grow up a lot with technical devices, as you get used to it and of course it is then required.

What if I think what our parents let my friends and me play at that time…

I wouldn’t let my children play unattended in a silent quarry of the parents of a friend;)

Well, it wasn’t all so dangerous. That was the most violent example.

That’s what children do.

PC and Co. are still only supplements, no replacement of social contacts.

In the city, the streets of play are full of dogs, because the owners are asocial AND lazy.
