There’s a world out there far and beyond whatever bubble you’re in. My daughter (6) can go out back on the playground or practice archery or whatever. My next-door neighbor (next-door in the original, pre-app sense) has a dirt bike track for his handful of kids (5+ and up)
I’ve got all kinds of neighbors with kids doing all the old things we did pre-Black Mirror in the pocket.
Don’t get me wrong, I FIGHT like a… expletive, with my kids about screen time to a degree that my folks and older siblings laugh about given I’m a self-taught teenage hacker.
But kids and communities with “go do shit” old-er school norms exist outside of the big cities.
