Who made you the definitive expert on child development?

No one and I’m not shakermaker although being the father of four children now well into their thirties and forties, grandfather to 11 and great grandfather to 4 it does put me streets ahead of most others, particularly 19 year olds.

Leave the choices and responsibility to the parents.

If all parents were responsible parents I would agree with you shakermaker but far too many are not and just plonk the kid in front of the telly all day. It’s no wonder that school kids of today get bored so easily. They never learned how to play without gadgets and things.
Instead of learning behaviour patterns from its parents the child learns what it sees on TV and more often than not the behaviour is not good. |
