For days now I am thinking about how parents of 21st century are selfish and wanted to share my thoughts with you.
I'm sorrounded with kids 7 days a week 24/7, I'm working in kindergarden and have 2 kids of my own. So I notice every day how kids are hard to amuse, hard to get their interes on something, and believe me I try to amuse them with many activities every day. But they all get excited when I turn on the laptop or show them sth on my mobile phone. Why so?
On the other hand, parents are also having problem with handeling their own kids, saying their kids go late to bed and are hard to calm down and concentrate. When I question their routine for bedtime I get all the wrong I could get. Parents lying about bedtime routine and kids revealing the ugly truth. So I found put that in group of 20 children, age 4 to 5, all of them poses some device od their own. Which is sooo sooo wrong. After getting that informatin I started questioning kids what do they do after kindergarden, and the answers were 80% "I get to watch YouTube" "I play playstation" and such. While others actually play sth not involving devices or play in park or go to some activities.
And now we come back to the start where I was taking about kids not interested in nothing besides devices. I know from my own expericence with my 2 kids (4y/o and 2y/o) that if I give them device I have time for myself, they are amused, quiet and sit still. On the other hand, if I was working While they were in kindergarden and then come home and instead to play with them I want time for myself and not knowing I have kids. Okay, 1day a week, but 7day a week? Selfish much? I think yes.
I have a lot on the subject, so rest of it comming in part2.
Have a great day and thank you for reading. Hope my thoughts inspire you to at least think about how much time do you spend with your kids, and I mean quality time. π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦ππ₯°
