The need for programmes like this makes me wonder if it is society’s way of trying to correct the fact that most families are now single units....not multi layered age groups as it used to be and families are separated by distance, time and life styles.I ask as my nephews and nieces all have interaction with grandparents, cousins, uncles, aunts (

) Etc etc and time spent with them. The number of their friends who have never been to a theatre, meal out (apart from MacDonald’s) or have time spent writing, reading, doing puzzles games or merely cooking/baking, let alone sitting down to a meal - with family is frightening. What has happened to the family values, when did Children take over....and is this how we get the so called "feral" children.
