Children now engage in play and social dynamics online. If your child's peer group engages in online interactions with each other and your child does not, your child will risk the struggles of bullying and isolation. Children are forced to be with their peer group for most of their waking hours and practice social rituals like hierarchy establishment, identity formation, boundaries, in-group/out-group dynamics, etc. with each other.


I can see how this could easily be an issue.

It is mitigated somewhat by our homeschooling, I think, as well as the families we tend to hang out with having similar cultural values.
