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
this is why you need more irl time
more irl time makes your skin chainmail?
THIS is why you need more irl time
because stangers mostly wont stab you.
give kindness, get kindness
the generations before “the kids” built eight game highways and supermarkets and malls that dont “allow loitering” everywhere
kids simply have nowhere to go
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.
