There is much learning to be had out in the real world also. A balance of the two is important. Limits should be in place if the kid naturally spends too much time on one or the other.
If you did it on your own, why would anyone ever tell you to do it?
Some people are good at one thing and some at the other
if I placed simone biles infront of a dying ssd and asked her to solder wires to the infochips inside to recover data, itd be insane
if I placed joe grand on a gynmastics field, expecting him to achieve an olympic jump, itd be insane
and I didnt finish it first, or a lot of times. My parents just ate the rest themselves or threw it away.
Yes, over time one or more specializations will naturally emerge. But even then time should still be spent on other kinds of experiences and knowledge. A person who only knows one thing is both helpless in life, and a rather booring person. Always at least experiment with new things so if you need them in the future you aren't completely clueless.
can you name 5 skills someone can learn from "playing outside"
Socializing with strangers.
Socializing within a group setting.
Self preservation skills.
Danger assessment skills.
Fishing.
I get it, you're not vegan, why do you have to bring it up ten times a day
Are you currently plugged into the matrix? Or are you living bag of water taking in oxygen and emitting CO2 like the rest of us? Are you seriously trying to downplay the value of IRL experience in favor of a terminally online life? If so you're proving why the adults in you're own question are right.
this is why you need more irl time
more irl time makes your skin chainmail?
THIS is why you need more irl time
because stangers mostly wont stab you.
give kindness, get kindness
the generations before "the kids" built eight game highways and supermarkets and malls that dont "allow loitering" everywhere
kids simply have nowhere to go
you are just not allowed outside if youre not shopping anymore
tell that to my kid, oh wait, hes out riding his bike with friends right now..
I get what you mean, youre right about the errosion of the "third space"
but youre responding to too many comments or something, because Im responding to where you said talking to stangers will get you stabbed.
I go on plently walks a day, with my phone ofcourse and eat right you dont gotta be an outdoorsman to be healthy and happy
and who has a whole fishing lake in the average city nowadays
its all barren brutalist concrete
The fact you don’t see the potential there on your own makes it clear that you have plenty of room to grow in your own wisdom
that they cant also learn online
Yes, my answer is the same. You are conflating learning with pure comprehension of factual information. Learning and knowledge and wisdom involve much more than that.
I can easily. What kind of environment do you have around? City, suburban, rural? Woods, plains, desert?
5 universal skills would be: navigation, hazard detection, problem assesment and solving, self reliance, physical endurance.
I don't get it.
Did you reply to the wrong comment?
None of that has anything to do with what I wrote?
just telling you where you could learn the same skills online
None of those are the same skills
Again, what kind of environment do you have around you?
LMAO, that's sooo dumb. Do you really think those skills are equivalent online and IRL?
