the playing outside thing is totally weird.
i grew up playing tag and man hunt, climbing trees and going on hikes/walks in the woods.
i couldn't imagine a childhood without it. but i know kids my age even that never did stuff like that. i've seen it even more so with my brother's friends (and they're only 2-3 years younger than me)
i guess parents think of television and video games as acceptable replacements for babysitters these days.
at least the kids a babysit for in the summer (ages 3 and 5) hardly ever watch tv.
we play outside and make crafts all the time (and i'm pretty sure they do with their parents too)
so i guess there's some hope.

Bergen county isn't really the epicenter of morals and clean living

and i totally share your pet peeve about kids being inappropriately dressed for their age group. it's sickening. when i was doing my observing at the middle school, i constantly saw little girls running around in school in outfits that i'd think twice about wearing even now at 23!
