Why do you think Lydia wants to shut off the house? At this stage in the story, what do you think will be the children's (Peter and Wendy) reaction to this idea?

She decides to close the house because she believes that the house is doing harm to her children and believes that the parents cannot compete with the efficiency of the house.

Children will not react well to this decision.

Explanation:

This question is related to the short story "The Veldt" that tells about a family that moves to a technologically technological home that efficiently does all the tasks that someone might need, including the simplest ones like tying shoes and bathing children .

As the house is highly self-sufficient and computerized, the children's parents are not concerned with educating them or meeting their needs, since the house takes care of that. Children love the home, but they are growing up rude and with some symptoms of psychological problems which makes parents worry. The mother, Lydia, decides to close the house and move to a common house, because she is concerned about the children's situation. However, children love the house and will not react calmly, as shown at the end of the short story.
