@Saganismm Well said. I remember that a French writer once said that we are taught fake history at school and we learn the true history outside of the educational system.

This is what the beginning of screen addiction looks like in a young child There is zero reason for young kids to get any regular screen time. Its all harm & no benefit. Put phones away, spend time WITH kids, and they wont even know what screen time is.

“America's abundance was created not by public sacrifices to the common good, but by the productive genius of free men who pursued their own personal interests and the making of their own private fortunes.” — Ayn Rand

Carl Jung - "The unconscious of people who live in an artificial manner senses me as a danger."

“People speak sometimes about the 'bestial' cruelty of man, but that is terribly unjust and offensive to beasts, no animal could ever be so cruel as a man, so artfully, so picturesquely cruel.” — Fyodor Dostoevsky

“If people cannot write well, they cannot think well, and if they cannot think well, others will do their thinking for them.” ―George Orwell

@thriving__kids We were the last generations to have a real childhood unlike the generations of today that became technology's mindless zombies.

So grateful I grew up before screens. Hours outdoor daily being physically active, interacting with friends, and using our imaginations to play. Not surprising kids were much happier and healthier back then. Its why I work to give my kids a mostly screen-free childhood. Physical activity daily. Outdoor whenever possible. Time with friends & loved ones >> Screen time. These build a foundation for mentally healthy & physically fit kids.

@thriving__kids I agree. Kids have to learn first hand most of the times that life has its ups and downs, that they have to take risks at times, think before they act and other valuable life lessons that can't be taught at schools nor by us.

Overprotecting kids raising mentally weak kids Kids need the freedom to try risky things like climbing trees or building bike jumps This builds their confidence and helps them believe in their abilities It also helps them learn to assess risks in life and make smart decisions It may seem counterintuitive for parents, but the best strategy to protect kids is to let them take risks
