I'm an older Millennial, pretty much raised like a Gen-X-er. I remember very little parental involvement growing up. I pretty much wandered the neighborhood with my friends on our bikes and rollerblades. I was pretty much left to raise myself, and being that I was the oldest, raise my brother too. Fast forward to now, with two kids of my own, and my husband (also an older millennial) and I both agree that how we grew up wasn't the answer either. We had very little screen time and spent the majority of childhood outside, however we had checked out parents. We allow video games on rare occasions, neither of our kids will have personal computers or phones of any kind. We have a family computer for school work that is located in a very public part of our house under constant supervision. Phones are for safety reasons only, and not for personal use. Absolutely NO SOCIAL MEDIA of any kind. We do activities as a family together and we keep our kids involved in extracurricular activities that they love and can feel that sense of achievement and pride in doing. Both my husband and I think that outside time is important, but family time is more important... We try to do everyday activities together with our kids. We are a very close family, and I feel very blessed because of it. I feel like my parents missed out.
All parents have been "checked out" since the beginning of humanity just because there was no other way. People that think that the past was "so much better" and they imagine parents mentoring their children and always following up with them. Imagine though that you have 5 kids, no electricity so no washing mashine, no refrigerator, no oven and you have to grow your own food and make your own clothes, and you will understand how little time was left for parents to "play". I refuse to believe humanity new nothing about raising kids until now. So maybe the free range is the best way to do it.
I'm a single mom of two and i absolutely do the same thing you do. Balance is key, but ultimately, family time is more important.
my husband is an older millennial raised as a gen-x-er. he is 40 next year and his mom was 35 when she had him and is in her 70s now. my mom was in her 20s and I am a millennial!
I love that you said family time is more important 🥹😭☀️ I couldn’t agree more. 🩷 wish you the best in your journey.
Agreed Yellowroses!!! I was born in 1980 and I feel like half gen x half millennial.
I have 2 kids and they're so fun, funny and smart. I adore the time I spend with them. My parents weren't just checked out they were unconscious with alcohol and "illegal substances"
I was left on my own so most of the time and it made me clingy until I matured enough to overcome it.
But I often think of how much my parents missed the love and happiness of just being with your own kids.
We're in our 3rd year of 1000 Hours Outside. It's brought so many wonderful experiences!
Every generation complains on how they were raised or the kids they raised. Everything in life needs balance. The efford you make or lack of will show up in your relationship.
We just reached our first 1000 hours last weekend! We did it in 13.5 months. Been life changing!
She is absolutely amazing. So fun to listen to. FILLED with knowledge about books and life. I just love her! I think John thoroughly enjoyed this interview too
We don’t do screen time, both my children go to an outdoor school during the week. So they do all their learning outdoors. I take them to the park, on hikes, we live right next to the beach. It’s great but sometimes I need to get into the flow of my home. I struggle to keep my home running. To get laundry done and make dinner because I have boys that want to be outside. When I was a kid my mom told me and my 5 siblings to go play and come back for dinner. Now if our kids want to go outside or play with a friend we have to set up a play date or drive them to a park. Which means I’m carrying them around all day tending to their need to be outside and get energy out. It’s so hard to get into the flow of my job as a stay at home mom who also has needs. Just wish i could send my boys out to play while I do the work of the mother and they do the work of the child (play).
Send them out and also give them chores. You do t have to drive them. You have a yard and a neighborhood. Have them start a vegetable garden, build a treehouse, get a dog. No excuses.
@@Foxie770 we live in an apartment. Where did I mention we have a yard? They are 5 and 3, they can’t go outside alone….
@@itscool770my advice to you would be you are doing too much they are 5 and 3 they do not need outdoor school unless you leave them there as daycare so you can do what you need to at home and for your health. Programs are expensive it would be interesting to see if you could afford some outdoor space of your own if you had an extra money in your budget. Divide your day up into work time with the children and playtime going on your hikes spending time at the beach. Things will get easier when they’re about eight years old to take this time slow and enjoy it.
@@Kevin.Grindel thanks for the advice. Their grandparents actually pay for the outdoor program. It’s not traditional school. It’s just fun and they get to engage with other kids.
Imagine being a homeschool mom. 🤪
This is so funny that this popped up. I just checked this book out at the library on Sunday. I gave my 5 year some small post it notes and had her bookmark the things she wanted to do in it. She’s gone through 2 packs already. This weekend we are making a fairy house out of a tree stump in our back yard. So many great ideas.
I needed to hear the part where she shared about her 15 year old getting an internship and wasn’t asked when he learned to read. Im a homeschooler and there are days I feel like my kiddo is “behind” (he’s only in 2nd grade right now). Great reminder to think long-term and put things in perspective. Great show today!
Dear homeschooling Mom
My mom pulled me out of 3rd grade, private school. I could not read - thus not write, not do math. My teachers told me I was dumb everyday. I was then homeschooling all the way through 12th grade. She thought the same thing till my first achievement test, not a state test, but the Iowa Basics that are the standard. I tested in 4th grade after 3 months of being home scrolled. After that I and my siblings tested 4-5 years ahead of are grade. She never pushed us into a grade above us. Our lesuire time was spent reading well above are grade level. My grandmother ( a teacher) They are given the spirit of learning and will excel when my mom was not sure.
I college we took the entrance exams and it was stuff we learned in middle school.
You are great and can do it. You will start to see a big difference as tour child gets older.
I am 27 and have not had kids yet, I am someone without too many people in a support system around me and this video explained so much about what to do about situations I feared. One of the reasons for my reservations against having kids anytime soon are explained in this video and was really eye opening for me. My biggest fear was what the heck would I do with them once I had them? Everyone is always inside, I would go crazy and i feared my stress levels would be all they feel from just trying to pass time in the days. This made a lot of sense to me
Being outside with my kids as a mom is SO much better than being inside. I enjoy my time with them so much more outdoors. I still love the indoor things we do but parenting just feels easier outside
Parenting is living and learning just like you are now. Kids will test your thoughts and beliefs because they want answers. My kid has taught me a lot about myself, too. I waited to have a kid not only because, well I needed the right partner but I was afraid I could never afford it. I was lucky to stay home a few years. I would just throw my kid in the stroller, go for a jog, go to the park. Take him to the beach, pool. You find things to do and meet up groups.
This has got to be one of the best interviews I've heard in a long time, so deeply valuable, thank you ❤
Love this! We’ve been homeschooling for 13 years & Charlotte Mason’s philosophies influenced our initial decision🤍
HARRAH! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! For describing and validating my childhood! We played in the neighborhood with neighborhood kids, and down at the park. A block and half away was the circumference...hearing distance for when Mom called us in for lunch. Several parents had a "call" for their family. Our mom learned to do "The Tarzan Yell". We heard that and instantly gave the yell back, immediately dropped what we were doing and ran home...laughing. We played with kids in the 3 vlock radius neighborhood and several of their parents had the family call, so it was a fun thing.
In the summer, the schools had what was called "Playground" staffed by paid university students. Puzzles and paints and paper were laid put on picnic tables, ball games were coordinated, etc. Our mom's younger siblings would take the train up from nowhere Arkansas for the summer and they learned howri interact and handle themselves with other kids...white kids (where they lived which was very segregated).
We naturally learned how to set boundaries, how to share, what other people were doing in the world (neighborhood).
The parks' play equipment was spread out so kids had to run, race, scream, and laugh from equipment to equipment.
We lived near a softball diamond's in town and there were night games we could attend with strict rules, safety guidance, and be home before the ball diamond lights went out or before the moon reached a certain zenith in the sky.
One of those neighbor kids and I have reconnected on Facebook and we're having fun revisiting our childhood. We're the generation who has motor homes traveling the country (me no longer) and he keeps us posted about his trips and how his wife is learning how to drive and park the RV... they went to the Albuquerque Baloon Festival this year...
Are we ready to retire, NO. We're still functional compared to the lower expectation from being raised in the "latch key" environment kids now are oin.
I have been so amazed spending time and learning my kids. With very little effort my daughter has learned her letters and their sounds. My son has started learning to read CVC words with little effort and has asked to count 100. I am finding that home education is cultivating an interest and love of learning.
My granddaughter wasn't ready for kindergarten, so after Christmas, I took her out and did homeschooling and occupational therapy. She's now at first grade level. Worth it ❤
Glad to see Ginny on the show! We are at 355 hours so far this year!
Ive noticed that too, everyone was outside when i was growing up now neighborhoods are ghost towns
Sometimes the fear of kidnappers and pedos causes me to have them more inside. I also allow them in the back yard but still have cameras. And even though i fear them outside. And also get upset when mad neighbors that hate kids
The fact that 9- and 10-year-olds have phones already is so completely beyond me and it's more common than you think. Kids that young have no business having the world in their hands.
110%....my 10 year old has been begging for a phone because all her friends at school have one already! It was a hard NO from me - she hates me for it and I'm a-okay with that. 👌
@@AllThingsOceangood for you!!! She will thank you for it ❤
So true! My nieces and nephews were 8 and 10 when they got phones and it was baffling to me. My sons will not get a phone until they get their license.
My siblings all say “well they are gunna be the odd ones out” and “they are going to get made fun of”
Guess what, I don’t care!
They have no reason to be on social media or the internet. My 8 year old isn’t even allowed on CZcams.
It’s just bad news all around.
@@bj_ohnsonor letting the world have access to them.
I live in an apartment complex and there are 3 and 4 year olds walking around here with phones...😵💫
I’ve never actually listened to a podcast ep with Ginny but it’s clear she understands her stuff. I appreciate that!
I absolutely loved this exchange! THANK YOU! The part about inevitably rescuing yourself back.... YESSSSS! We started homeschooling 3 years ago and this year fell into the rut of never ending worksheets at the kitchen table most days with a non stop schedule of paid activities. We are transitiioning to more a more outdoor, social, and natural learning. This gives me so much hope!
I was listening to this while cooking dinner and looking out the window at my kids playing in the garden (3 and nearly 2 year old twins). So much of what you said resonated with me. I had to close the door to make sure they stayed outside while I cooked. If didn't there would have been sand and muddy boot prints all over the kitchen 😂 Having a safe outside space is such a privilege.
Ginny had me in stitches talking about getting three children out to the library. It takes me 2 to 3 hours to get everyone out of the house for activities in the morning, but it is so worth it.
FINALLY someone calling out the rampant parentification of children that is called love today.
What do you mean? I thought everyone is being a helicopter parent now and not trusting their kids?
Yep. We have the means to send our kids to college, but instead, they have chosen to enter the blue collar work force with apprenticeships. We opted out of many systems many years ago and have successfully raised kids to think for themselves, learn how to learn, save and give, grow food, and more. Leave the systems set before you and be free to do what’s right for your family.
Ginny is incredible and her podcast is so well rounded and thought provoking.
WOWWW I love the 38 minute mark where she talks about weekend sports ❤️❤️❤️
Just watching this makes me feel tense and feel people way over think parenting, and life in general. Put your electronics down and unplug. Live an authentic life and stop comparing and keeping up withe the Jones. Social media is toxic. People overthink everthing!!
Facts kids as well as adults need to get off the phones and go touch some grass. Now look I'm not saying my screen time is low but I like hanging out and doing things with people it's fun and a good way to connect with others
Thank you, Dr. John! This interview with Ginny was amazing!!
Beautiful interview! So many insightful takeaways. Thanks Ginny and Dr Delony
My son is now 22 and says thank you mom that I had a childhood. I myself, didn’t have a phone until I was 23. Our youngest, our daughter was so sad and miserable but she didn’t get a phone until she was 15 (only child in her school without a phone) and that was with a time/use contract and multiple check ins and parental control software. All phones had to be docked in the evening. It’s honestly hard to manage but I think we tried to provide a safe on ramp to technology. We raised seven - 6 boys and 1 girl
In the show notes can every book and person they written down. That would be great. Thank you this was a great show. The three of us had time to learn from cooking, magic, reading books that intrested us and where far beyond our grade level, adventures where found every where from a 30 min walk to grocery store shopping ( my parents taught us numbers, color recognition, ect).
The amount of takeaways I have from this episode, I need a writing pad to take notes. This is such a good episode for parents!!!!
As an x-er thankful that I grew up running around outside with the neighborhood friends. I could have used more guidance, encouragement and help with my homework. I loved that I played outside everyday. We felt safe and it was pretty wholesome.
There is a balance. That is what she is talking about.
I love this idea, but there's one challenge I see for me as a kinship caregiver to grandkids--staying outside for hours myself and not getting any work done after I've spent all day working on behalf of the kids. Maybe it could work if parents took turns at the park/playground and each had kid duty only once a week or something....
Talk about a library. I want to strive to be able to grow my mind in this way. Thank you for the new books to read and learn.
My parents basically mademe go outside. So that’s what I did. Now I choose to go outside as an adult and I am forever thankful for it. I love video games but unlike some of my friends I developed hobbies and a love of nature so I will choose that over video games or other screens. Some days especially rainy ones I will sit inside but every other day I get outside. On my days off I pretty much make sure I’m out all day. I try to encourage my friends to get out. As they develop health issues I feel bad that their parents did the same for them.
Absolutely loved this interview!!! Would love more like this!!!
Us Gen-X-ers were free range kids and we most certainly did NOT turn out better (as a group) than our kids are. We were neglected and abandoned to our own impulses. It was like we didn’t even have parents. Put your kids in activities. Do things as a family. Don’t make a false dichotomy between locking kids out and being glued to screens.
Good point!
I’m GenX and wasn’t neglected but was free range with boundaries. My childhood was fun! I didn’t have a mom driving us to the club/pool for entertainment. We just had a blast.
@@JenniferAguiartampa that wasn’t the experience of most kids of our generation. I’m glad you lucked out.
I'm a Boomer ... Was free range and my parents couldn't afford extra curricular activities. We're just fine ... Stop blaming everyone.
Amen Carol!
Ooo yay!! Ginny Yurich and Delony cross paths!!
I have the best memories of playing outside w my friends from the neighborhood. BIKE GANGGGGG
I agree, too much phone time isn't good. We need to plan activities for the kids.
Such an amazing conversation! It's so hard to go against the grain, but the fruits are in the long run.
Would it be possible to list all of the books she referenced?
I’ve learned from listening to her be interviewed that you just have to have pen and paper handy for the books names and authors. ❤
I love this lady
As a single mom of 2. This is the exact struggle I'm facing. Love this podcast
Loved this! My biggest take away was 4 - 6 hours outside a day! LOVE IT!
I was born in 1997. I didn’t grow up with screens. I did watch my fair share of Nickelodeon and Disney channel but I roamed around every day and I didn’t even have backyard toys. I just created worlds and played with neighbors. My cousin and I used to walk together at 12/13 to the park unsupervised and played basketball with strangers. It was such a fun time.. also I played computer games from the library and those were so much more challenging and interactive than being given an iPad. I didn’t have my first phone until 16 and it was a government issued prepaid phone with limited text messaging that my grandma gave me 😂
Great guest Deloney xx
I love her!!
Loved this episode! Ginny is so fun to listen to! Thanks John!
We need “activities for humans” cards.
We homeschool our kids since Dec of this year. Even before that we try to get them outside to play as much as possible. I was just telling my husband how we don’t see our neighbors outside. No one sits on their porch. No kids are outside playing. We see neighbors as they drive by and stair at us for being outside in our yard or porch.
😂
Thanks so much for this, im sad there isnt more lol
I am a school teacher in France and kids have so much difficulties to focus and stay still. Part of the explanations is that they don't have enough outside play during their freetime. The consequences are so huge. We, teacher, are overwelmed and feel lost 😢
Hard thing is when you live in an apartment somewhere where the schools are basically falling apart because the government doesn't give them money and also doesn't have parks, playgrounds, beaches, nothing. Most you got is playing in the balcony.
When i was living in an apartment growing up there were still kids around, we played house, dolls, etc. we played patty cake, jump rope, rode bikes, all that, you dont NEED a park or playground, you need imagination. I grew up making mud pies and making tacos out of leaves and dirt and finding bugs under bricks. :)
I keep getting told that I’ll eventually cave and get my kids an iPhone. It’s by far the most aggravating statement for me. No, I’m not changing my mind. Sorry you already made the mistake of getting an 8 year old an iPhone, but I’m not making that mistake.
@04:02 "When did kids start running our homes?" My God! 😮💨🔥
When mom started going to “work” outside the home. Moms need to run their homes and be the foundation for the family.
Stoked for this!
Yes screens are addictive but people don't want to realize that it is not just the screens that are addictive. It is also the fact that most kids today live in urban or suburban ones which either make it ultra-dangerous to play outside or there are just no kids of similar age around to play with. I was raised in a city yet at the age of 8-9 years old we were hordes of kids playing out in the streets roaming around the neighborhood with no issue, no threat, the risks were truly minimal - it would be extremely rare for something to happen. 4 decades forward, the city is filled with every scum of the earth that decided to invade the country, it is extremely dangerous for kids to roam around on their own, kids are hence locked up inside their houses and shuttled to "activities". But activities such as sports and music, which kids do tend to enjoy today too, are just taking 2 to 4 hours per week. School also takes more houses today, back in our times it was just 5 hours, today it is all-day long precisely to provide kid-guarding services to working parents. So kids are basically living between house and school and a couple of hours of activities and that's it. If they are not doing their homework, they will be on their screens. You can try to ban the screens but once 8 out of 10 classmates do have access, it will be increasingly difficult to keep it that way unless your kid concedes to your ways. And most kids won't.
The avoidance of screen addiction starts by finding ways to get the kids to socialize with other kids again outside school. Good luck with that in multi-racial societies, totally fragmented, where the one looks with suspicion the other.
I’m thankful that my parents lived in the country and my mom stayed home with us. We weren’t really allowed to be outside unattended until I was maybe 6-7. Then as we got older we would go play in the woods or do chores with animals or play ball etc for hours. But we still had a very structured meal, reading, inside activity and chore schedule. It makes me a little sad to hear so many people felt like their parents let them raise themselves and just locked them outside. I do not consider that good parenting either.
Great JOB Ginny !!! Teach it
This is so cool and I love being able to take in this information before I have my own kids so my future husband and I can formulate a plan to how our house looks.
Wow! Really enjoyed her! Thank you for sharing.
This is so good!!!!
This woman is amazing!!!
The thing is, the whole "go outside and play for hours" thing only works if you don't live in a place that summers won't give you heat stroke within 20 mins of being outside. I live in FLORIDA, it's upper 90s every single day. Not sending my kids out to get heat exhaustion lol
Same with Texas 😂
@@curlsncoilsnwaves7324 I actually was thinking "same with Texas" when I was typing that lol
It’s 110-115 in Vegas 😢
Omg! Yes, in Florida also. The heat is oppressive 😂 Even my dog wants to be inside
Please read the book THE COMFORT CRISIS
Being uncomfortable is so good for all of us. we are an over fed, air conditioned, hyper screened society. Your kids will be just fine with a canteen of water (the pool) in the backyard and OUTSIDE. Trust me. I lived in Texas as a kid. I sweated my behind right off but I had a blow up pool and popsicles and I was FINE. It did so much for me to learn to be uncomfortable. It’s so healthy for humans
Sitting here on my screen being educated about how screen time can be bad… haha…
All jokes aside, there is value is some (VERY LIMITED) screen time. Sesame Street as a kid was one hour, and then we played outside for HOURS a day, often being gone all day expect for a snack at lunch time.
I’m asking this question sincerely, because I’ve read articles recently on this but notice they are still a sponsor. If I were to give Better Help a shot, is there a possibility that they will sell my privileged information? I saw the ad read from John, and was curious if that had been resolved?
Better Help issues are way deeper than that. They claim everyone there is licensed, when they do not only have licensed therapists. It's a horrible company and I would never recommend them
I like Delony, but wish he wouldn't push that trash company. Caleb Hammer distanced himself from them, I wish Delony would also. Would make me respect his overall opinions more.
Thinking about what all can go wrong and listing reasons why not to do things is exactly why parents are in the conundrum they are today. Absentee parenting isn't the answer by any stretch of the word, but finding 10000 reasons why something is too stressful is the actual stress in the activity. If you just went ahead and did it, you'll immediately realize that whatever you left at home your child will forget about in 2 minutes and do somethig else. It's just that simple, but that difficult for some.
The ipad data from the UK is truly saddening. Now, our government is pushing to ban smartphones for children under 16
If only. I dream of having a yard for my child to play outside! When my husband and I were married in 2020 we paid off all our debt and were saving for our down-payment on a home during our first year of marriage. We live in a yardless apartment which is low priced for our area. Now with a baby, cost of living, daycare, and post-covid housing... it seems impossible to leave. It's depressing. We're currently choosing between our child having a sibling or owning a home with a yard within the next 5 years. Can't afford both.
Wow I really enjoyed this one!!
I didn’t let my daughter have a phone until she turned 13. I don’t allow electronics behind closed doors. I can go through my daughter’s phone whenever I want but I don’t. I know there are risks with having a phone but she has to learn from her own mistakes. I do not allow social media but I know there are ways around it. I feel she is at the age where she now takes responsibility for her actions to a certain extent. Also, she gives me her phone every night before she goes to bed.
Wish they woulda saved this for the Friday drop, gonna be long day with no Delony
Can you please list out the books she recommends in the video description? Thanks!
If you have a podcast app, and find this episode on his show profile, all Links and books are listed there! ☺️ so many good ones!
47:00 my mother would come home from work for lunch and mimic gagging and puking noises when tasting the food I was making lol telling me it couldn't have been any more disgusting and then I would be locked in a room pissing in an empty bottle while she took my sisters to the restaurant
Is this for real? I am so sorry 😢
This was great thank you. I will say, yes technology is keeping kids inside more. However, more kids were going inside before technology due to all the kidnappings that happened in the 70s & 80s.
Well that talk is great and I'm doing good with my daughter we only go I'm to eat and we are always out
If you can limit reading a book to a mere half hour then you can cut screen time to a half hour too. Thank you, parents, for raising us in nature
Good stuff but she talks VERY fast a lot of the time.
My husband and I moved to Scandinavia (where my husband is from) when our son turned 10. Life is still life but my son knows how to walk everywhere. Eat well. Enjoy being outside and he takes initiative to do it now at almost 16.
And it is nice because it is normal in society here so most of the parents around us parent the same way. Nothing is ever perfect of course but I feel I have given my son a gift. And we go to the States all the time too and he is also American and has family and friends there. It’s a good balance.
I logically agree with a lot of things she is supporting. Just slow it down, lady! LOL ( I mean that endearingly 😉)
I’m the mom with no friends, no biological family, 2 kids under 5 husband works 12-14 work days plus 8 months out of the year we are covered in snow. Plus everything going on in today’s world good luck making friends.
Eh im the same boat but my little family is enough for me . Its expensive to make friends these days
I can't stick with it, the talking is too fast. Is there a way to slow it down?
Great!
1000 hours in Belgium.. where it has been raining since november - and every dry second we go outside - im not even at 100 i think 😂
This makes me want kids, i feel like id be such a great mother 😔
Not when there four but meanwhile there was Me at 4 years old teaching my self to read by asking my mom questions🤣🤣
Not everyone can be home to facilitate this every day. Also, need to adjust to how the world adjusts. Of course, I want to limit screen time and create a healthy balance- but this is so contradictory. Talk about pressures on parents.
Really enjoyed this episode. There are some things my husband and I do already without even thinking about it.
But, these comments are depressing. Do y'all not have ANY discernment? She gave alternatives for every situation and its still a boo-hoo fest about about how you can't do the things she talked about. If it's something you're not interested in or doesn't apply to you, THEN IT'S NOT FOR YOU. Not everything has to apply to you or fit your life perfectly.
As a parent I see it as my responsibility to prevent permanent damage (loosing a pinky is okay ;-)).
This grates
I really enjoyed listening to her. But damn does she speak fast! LOL
Dr. D! SHE SAID "PASSING OFF THE BATON" & U KEPT A STRAIGHT FACE! HOW?
"next caller!"
she reminds me of Melissa McCarthy
There’s something horribly ironic about two people using a content machine to explain why the content machine is taking over our lives.
It’s hypocritical
Not really
Reach people where they at 😁
then we're all in it as we comment!
Not even close. This is the way of the world; this is how he gets to the masses. Similar to the news or the radio. This is where people are.
John lives in the woods with all his kids and they don’t have screens
Ginny is the 1000 hours
Come correct next time
I don’t like this guest format. What’s kay-so? Italians use fromaggio. Mexicans use queso.
For all the "gen-x-ers" talking about how they grew up wasnt the answer. It was a whole lot better than what kids are getting now. There is absolutely no argument there.
God I hate activities so much. Mommy and me groups literally give me the ick. Please just include your kids in your everyday life, go to the park or beach in summer, be outside all year round, and do not let your child have a device until they can drive and afford it themselves. They learn how to do life from watching you and being included in your life.
This lacks insight, the opinion of an older age that saw Internet come up and get corrupted. Kids these days are one with their phone, it contains contact to all their friends at the push of a button and their entire social personality. You cannot just cut that off. They need to be motivated to play outside the way Pokemon Go did, phone in hand, interacting with other players. We need more games like that. Because the time of sitting in the backyard digging a hole with a stick because you were bored is over.
He talks about how women cant win. We cant. Men stop watching TV porn. (Tv shows with any nudity) Just get rid of it and love your girl/wife. Itll change her love for you.
This lady is interesting but she is definitely talking too much!! I wanted to know about how his home has transformed but she’s gone on two anecdotes since he mentioned that
Well I think the mom's don't wanna admit the reality of they have all left the most important job To complete strangers in daycare babysitting
My kid digs her pad. She's only allowed to watch educational things. I have her pad locked down. She likes to share what she learns with me. If you ask her if she wants to go play she's like what pad. I'll sit with her and we'll play. She has no little friends to play with, but she will soon. Pre-school is coming. Pads are the new t.v.'s and gaming consoles of this age.
A lot of kids who just “roam” the street are kidnapped so…yeah…maybe we’re helicopter parents b/c our parents weren’t and we’re lucky we survived.
There is no excuse to be a helicopter parent. Like…at all. They can be left alone in the backyard. They can get a gang of friends and ride around on their bikes. Don’t make excuses to snowplow for your kids
@@BT-mc2yd to each there own. I just love my kids more than you love yours I guess!
@@juliam.e.barragan5992 …lol the data is out that the most love you can give a kid is to back up and let them grow. Your kids won’t come around when they’re older if you continue to live in their ass. Good try.
Praying you don’t try to teach them anything either. Please learn when to use THERE. lol
I never realized how narrow minded people have become just because of technology.
