friendship

[HV Psychodrama]

One of the things I have noticed is that children don't play with one another as much as they used to...much of their time together is watching videos, playing video games, or two children will each play with their own game boy...more of parallel play. A lot of children don't choose to, or have the opportunity to, play make believe. My husband teaches kindergarten, and there is so much academic pressure on these five year olds that very little time is left over for truly interactive, social play. Without the opportunity to role take, and role play, how do they learn to role create the social roles they need to develop for real friendship?
 Interesting questions...

  I think it would make a good discussion. 
  My personal thoughts. I believe that although email and cell phones have taken over the face to face contact I think it continues to occur in other venues, book clubs, political meeting, concerts etc. What one does with that is another issue. 
  How often have we said, "Its nice to meet you lets get together" and it just doesn't happen. 
  I also think that often folks tend to stay within their limited communities. Socimetrically finding things people have in common, as we know, is often the only way to bring us face to face. I also think that our new generation thinks that cell phones, emails is a safer means of communicating. (yeah for spell check)
