No, but what is "taking childhood away" may look very different to a 10 yo versus a 30 yo.

Part of the social fabric of daily life is shared experiences with those around us.

We, as parents, feel that ANY action that serves to produce a singularity of childhood experience, or to deny a common childhood experience, is one that we have to undertake with a great deal of thought. Those things are not worthy goals, in our minds. Not without other reasons why alternatives don't work.

That's my complaint about this. The notion that this is a GOOD idea for-- well, for many children. That, I disagree with.
