My city taped off the parks during the height of the lockdowns. Kids were stuck at home with tech-distracted parents. Before the Plandemic I would walk through the park and noted about half a dozen moms glued to their phones ignoring their kids until one fell and hurt himself. Some looked up with a Zombie-like stare, then returned to their phones. At least the kids were outdoors getting exercise.
My husband and I also see moms with strollers on their phones. We saw one mother step in a pile of dog doo due to distraction.
I wonder if they are on their phone all the time at home too? Talk about non engagement with their offspring. Kids will over eat if they have no one to discipline them or just eat out of boredom for emotional comfort. Very sad.
It's scary how parents lean on their tech toys for gratification. If not used sparingly and with mindfulness, things like smart phones can become a powerful drug that takes away from being in the moment.
Oh, you are quite right, it’s 100% the parents’ fault.
At the same time, the difference/increase is also directly attributable to this fake-*ss dempanic.
Lies perpetuate sloth perpetuates lies, and 🔁.
