Problem 2: Children of today have far less free time (after-school structured activities, organized sports, and part-time jobs during high school) and far more access to television, computers, and video games. How might the lack of free, unstructured time affect the development and expression of creativity and intelligence? Do computers increase or decrease creativity and intelligence? Do computers affect the way we think and process information?
Problem 3: Does childhood matter? Children are resilient and can often overcome some problems related to physical abuse, neglect separation from parents, mentally ill parents and inadequate parenting.

What if they are physically abusive? Why or why not?
