Even when interacting with others online, there is still something lacking. It isn't the same as spending time face to face. And unfortunately, people spend too much time on social media comparing what they see of others' lives to their own. And when teens see their friends doing activities, they may feel they were left out or their life isn't as good. It can lead to a lot of self-esteem issues and depression. You don't get as much of that nonsense on the playground.briellejee wrote: ↑14 Jul 2018, 22:47 Yes, Toni encourages children to read more books and play the traditional toys. Nowadays, children play everything by phone and it saddens me. It is extremely hazardous for their social, mental, emotional, and physical health. This is why depression is on the rise because children tend to seek consolation in gadgets and forget the importance of human interaction.

I read somewhere that a person needs at least eight hugs a day to keep healthy. Everybody needs to be touched in the right way.

I strongly agree with this. Even I, as an adult, felt that way when i browsed through my social media. Also, I was in the park one afternoon, walking our dog, when I see these two kids, aged 6-7, holding up their phones and take selfies and photographed the flowers. I heard one of them said, "it's for facebook, so people will like it." It was sad that at this age, kids already seek approval based on likes. Then minutes later, two different kids, same age, were running and playing tag. I smiled at them, really happy that at least some know the value of youth. I wish parents would stop shoving gadgets into their kid's faces when they seek attention from them. I'm afraid for these kids to grow up hating themselves for not having the same life as others they see on social media.kfwilson6 wrote: ↑14 Jul 2018, 22:57Even when interacting with others online, there is still something lacking.
