My 10 year old twins (boys) don't seem interested in toys anymore. They're all about video games, movies, tv. Is your 10 year old like that, or do they still like to play with toys? and if so, what kind of toys? My kids also love to read. And they like physical activities like going swimming and playing sports, but those aren't things we can do daily or at our house. Board games they just seem to fight over and I can't always play with them to curb arguments.
Answer
That's normal but encourage them to participate in their sports. If possible they could play in the park or garden with their football/rugby with friends. Get them a few toys that are suitable for their age (wrestling toys, pokemon toys, spinning disks) they are lucky because they always have eachother to play along with. Good luck :)

I see kids ages like 9-12 (Sorry kiddies but that is children) doing everything except play with toys lately.
I see them on cell phones,or 10 yr old girls dressing like hookers wearing way too much make up. I have even seen kids that age walking down the street smoking like its no big deal. They even talk about sex like they really know first hand what its like. ( Kinda scary I think)
Is it just my area here or are kids now a days trying to grow up too fast?
whose to blame for this?
When I was that age I was playing with cars,He-mans, Gi Joes and that sort of thing.
cancan: you gave me an idea for another question.
Answer
Kids toys are different these days - cell phones are the new "walkie-talkies". They play video games of cars, he-man, and GI Joe.
As for the "grow up too fast" argument, there are a few things going on that really don't go well together.
Twelve year olds have more knowledge (as you pointed out) about sex and other adult topics than newlyweds did a few generations back.
At the same time, the children aren't responsible for their actions as they are still children. Unfortunately, parents are limited in their right to discipline their children and many lack discipline themselves.
So, children remain children despite their abundant adult knowledge until long after they should've become adults. The nation is full of 20 year old children, and 12 year old girls dressed like hookers.
What's the solution? Turn off the fking TV and talk to your kids. Teach them responsibility. Be open with them about them becoming adults. Don't close your eyes and mumble abstinence - it isn't reasonable and it doesn't work. Instead, validate their emotions and facilitate their decision making.
