maybe here we can talk about various things related to them...
really i dont envy kids growing up today... the going is going to get rougher as they get older. berlin is a great place to raise a child, as it is so safe with low crime rate and i see 7 year olds riding the trains by themselves all the time. how is it where you are?
also, those of you with children of 6/7 or older, what do you do with the internet when you are not there? my young friend found a forum for children yesterday and started posting (i think because she saw me posting on dissensus), and i started worrying what the older kids might be talking about on there: drugs, sex, etc. i mean the web is really pretty damn scary if you think about it, she can be very easily exposed to things that might be very upsetting or bad for someone who doesnt yet understand a lot about the world or differentiate between things.
im making her a series of compilation cds because she loves music: so far there is an electronic volume with things like ISAN and Mouse on Mars and Broadcast and Bjork, and an African volume with a bunch of great 60s and 70s recordings on it. and there will be a rock one, a Pop one and a Classical and latin and jazz and hiphop... if anyone else with kids might be interested i can upload them?
good week to you and your little ones...
