I may be ignorant as I haven't been 5 years old in quite some time nor am I a parent yet, but what would you say this 5 year old child is going to lack developmentally after spending one year as if it's 1986 at his home? There was no mention as to whether the children were home schooled or not so we can assume the child is most likely in the public school system.

If their 5 year old is getting to spend half the day in the year 2013 with his classmates, & half the day with family in the year 1986 it sounds like the best of both worlds doesn't it?
