They still won't get that experience. All their friends will be in their homes playing Fortnite.

    Or they'll get the cops called on them for doing normal kid shit like exploring the woods or even just playing outside, because suburbanites are actually terrified of children doing children things and have been conditioned to hate and fear this.

    Well if that's the case then it's on you. You're the parent, you decide whether or not the kid stays home all day. Like the other person said, arrange play dates. Also, take them places. Play at the park, go jet/water skiing on the lake, go to amusement parks, go camping, hiking, etc. There are endless activities you can do with your kids, many of them only costing you the price of gas or a train/bus ticket.

    Yeah for sure! I just meant, merely not buying them phones and tablets isn't enough. I rather like the idea of getting an old console with a bunch of split screen games and inviting their friends over like the other user suggested.
