Good point—but it depends who counts as the child’s ‘peers’. In a harmful environment like public schools, the child is artificially sequestered with same-age children for most of the day (and in most households, then exposed to ‘age-appropriate’ television for the rest of it). Of course parents wouldn’t have much impact in this environment.
My children will be unschooled—that may be relevant.
