I can definitely relate! In this age of instant gratification and materialism, spoiled kids with short attention span and shorter temper are everywhere. As a mom of an almost 1 year old boy, I'm entering this weird inner battle stage of resorting to ipads and phones to keep him occupied (easy and may I say lazy) vs traditional playtime that involves more imagination and well, more human involvement (ie time-consuming).
Glad you wrote this sweet piece so I know there is hope for a loving and thoughtful generation!
