But she’s also a genius, excels at ALL sports, and has no problem being the “nerdy intellectual” at school. As we all know, highly intelligent people tend to be eccentric and even “lazy” about just ONE facet of their personality. Meaning they excel at 20 things…..but then fail at 1 simple matter of common sense (like brushing your hair each day and not walking around with a tangled mess on your head). Plus, all of my nephews and my son are VERY into riding bike, ramping, skateboarding, swimming in the pool, playing outside, and the only person in the house who plays video games and owns a video gaming system……is ME! I guess we’re really lucky because all 5 of the children in my home (ranging from age 3-14 years) watch virtually ZERO television, are constantly outside playing, and are too busy with friends and hobbies to even THINK about asking me to play a video game. On rare occasions my son (6) and my one nephew (7) will be REALLY bored on a cold, rainy day and ask if they can “Play Mortal Kombat in my room”…..but that’s typically ONLY when there are no options of going outside, going to friends, going to the park, or doing other things. I didn’t think the whole “technology” thing was a problem with “kids”. I always attribute it more to older teens (15-18) and adults, quite honestly. What do you think? I really am wondering now if it’s more unusual then I thought it was for younger children to be THAT into video games and MMA type stuff? Even the boys?
