RE: I am me: #4 - Enough or not

in Reflections2 months ago

I talked a lot about that with a friend of mine who's daughter is just in that age. He thinks like us, and his daughter is very conscious, and yet she does have problems controlling the screen-impulses, which she knows and expressed herself. The issue for her is loneliness, it's isolating to not do the same as others, even though it's harmful. And it's hard to find other kids like that in the same age group around here. Most grow up being shut up with screens, and get used to it.

It's going to be interesting how all that develops in the next 5-6 years, until Lily hits that age. Until now, the Waldorf school is a great complementary to my style of upbringing, so I'm not too worried.

Exactly this! I can perfectly understand her because at my time you were isolated if you hadn't Nike shoes or watched a specific TV series or smoked... And I can't blame her really, it's a harsh age, you want to be part of the group. It's hard for both parents and children, fingers crossed for us

Fingers and toes... I hope there will be a HIVE-Mobile-Frontend until then, that would be a compromise for me 🤣
