What social life?
Sitting in a room with same aged children who you’re not allowed to talk to during the class or cooperate with?
5 min talking in the hallway with your best friends or being bullied or witnessing bullying creating more fear of being ‘different’ that will stick in your adult life so you walk around trying to fit in, be liked, look and have what the other ‘cool’ people have?
All adults are authority figures you either hate, fear or want to please…
I don’t want my children to have that kind of social life. My children are with people of all ages every single day, talking to people in shops, the street, parks etc.
They play and argue every day learning to resolve problems with each other and adults treat them respectfully.
We travel and get to know other cultures where they learn social skills.
I’d like to quote a father who once replied to your question saying: ‘I don’t want my children to socialize with these fucking idiots’
Do you want your kids to be surrounded by ‘fiat-minded’ people and learn their way or be around freedom-minded people?
We also don’t need to be with 30-1000 people every day. Especially for introverts this is not just exhausting but torturous.
Being able to be alone is a skill most have forgotten. They need people, distraction and have addictions of all sorts to not feel alone.
