why I think parenting has been an issue

parents never realise the main issue/problem

it is never about the distraction (phone or whatever), it is about a deeper reason why the child would seek distraction in the first place
it’s so easy to blame the technology and the child. “You’re always on your phone.”

instead of tackling the problem in a more appropriate way, we always look to blame.
this generation is so over scheduled and because of that there’s increase in anxiety and depression. we all feel like prisoners and it’s so fkn tiring
because of the controlling behaviour of brown parents especially, the child looks for more freedom and finds solace by escaping any type of discomfort and this has been bred since we were kids
it’s important that kids are made to realise that they are in control of the things that they do and not being controlled

parents need to realise they’re raising future adults and not children

don’t control their behaviour because if you do, you’re incentivising cheaters
that’s why so many kids don’t share important stuff with their parents and go through so much psychological and mental pain alone. if this problem didn’t exist, I’m sure children would share more stuff
