most happy and healthy kids have a unique desire to learn and trying to suppress that is unhealthy
things like screen time, finish your plate, etc
screen time is just a limit on time to learn if the kid is using it for the right purposes which you should teach them to
“finish your plate” I was never told that as a kid and I devour anything that is given to me
you are just not allowed outside if youre not shopping anymore
tell that to my kid, oh wait, hes out riding his bike with friends right now…
I get what you mean, youre right about the errosion of the “third space”
but youre responding to too many comments or something, because Im responding to where you said talking to stangers will get you stabbed.
