Endless entertainment with imagination and curiousity.
True… but imagination comes from individual thought.. They Fear that.. They Preprogram everything we see and own, knowing we become Addicted to the process, creating controllable Minions.. we are then predisposed to see the world through Their eyes which gives them the control they are CREATING !!
Yup. What we need most to build is immunity to programming and marketing. Then we can be free.
I Agree !! We all need to wake up and see the Matrix for what it is… So appreciate my Frens here for helping me do just that !!
It helps to throw out the TV set.
I traveled on a bus recently and sat next to a young woman with a very young child in a stroller. The little girl was watching something on mum's mobile. When it finished she made a grunting noise (clearly too young to talk) and the mother downloaded something new and handed the phone back. I was appalled: getting a child hooked to a screen which would become her slave master. No interaction with anyone or anything else. Sad.
My grandson has a tablet addiction, as a 4yo. When he stays here, magically the battery is dead, LMAO
I'm so thankful my nephews and niece aren't raised like that. Their parents actively discourage using the tablet and screens, and instead encourage playing with legos and other toys.
Very, very sad.
When I traveled with my daughter it was a learning experience. Children can be kept interested so easily, if you take the trouble.
Humans crave attention of other humans. Substituting for that needed attention in infancy is disasterous.
Before they could even walk I was pointing out shapes and colors as we drove. I just hate those ABC Mouse ads. Every time they are on I'm thinking about how they support parents for ignoring their kids.
I made sure my kids learned important stuff from their Dad and I. We potty trained at 18 months and stopped baby talk about two. We went to the library! My girls read at four. My son struggled till he was 1 week into first grade. We found out when he was is college he has ADHD. I taught the math while cooking, clipping coupons and looking at grocery ads.They raised animals and participatd in 4H! We played outside! My youngest has a scar under her eye from a coyote bone she found and promptly slid down the slide to diaster with. We taught lessons at Christmas making gifts for the grands, aunts, uncles and cousins. We planned with the kids for weeks. Shopping, estimating quantities needed, we sewed, beaded, and did yarn crafts. We made pin cushions and refrigerator magnets when they were young and candles, wood work items, draft doggers and bbq aprons as they aged. The kids had to buy their own supplies so that they learned about money, budgets, and appreciation for those giving them gifts.We didn't pay allowances but they could earn their money with chores beyond their normal responsibilities. Once they were about 15-16 they got real jobs. We took them to community plays, fairs, trick or treating, memorial day, 4th of July and Christmas parades. We took them with us to the movies, out to dinner with us, to parents nights at the school and book mobiles. They learned about donations to the needy, the ballot box, and church. There was swimming, hunting, fishing and camping. We worked in the yard and gardened together. One year my youngest two helped the neighbors make maple syrup. We taught them family responsibilities too. Holidays they were expected to help nor matter where we were. Sometimes our three were the only ones of their cousins that were expected to participate in some way. Carry stuff in, ferry the elderly, cook or clean up they learned they were important to the family functions. My kids had tons of outside toys, regular and mini bikes, paint guns, sleds, balks of every kind, a bb court, even a dune buggy. They had musical instruments, played in band, sang in choir, cheered and did sports throughout their school years. Don't get me wrong they played video games, had sleep overs and watched TV. They had computer time but I think it's more important to be together as a family. Thats the best time to be had! I miss my kids. The time went by too fast! But parents that park their kids get exactly what they put into them. Nothing
On the flip side, I have a 3 1/2 year old boy. We always play with bigger kids at the park. We bring sticks of all sizes and get great games of war going. It's madness! 😁
For those of us being thankful at this time, being thankful for being raised in the pre-electronic age should be on our list. Being a kid in the real sense, always outside playing with friends not imprisoned and beholden to a device.
We threw dirt clods. It was pretty obvious who got hit.
Magnolia tree pods create the best hand grenades. You even get to pull the pin before tossing them.
Back in 4th grade around 2002, I got in trouble for holding a fucking wood chip from the playground that was in the shape of a gun
Thank god it wasn't a loaded pop-tart....
It was Florida...I bit it into the shape of Florida. I was framed!!!
My swords looked better than that...but it required dads tools, that hopefully I placed back in the shed before I got in trouble.
You forgot to mention, we also drink from that hot hose laying on the lawn, which tasted like hot rubber..
Back then, the only person in my school w/ blue hair, was that old lunch lady w/ 20 moles on her face. Blehh...
The ONLY people I had to worry about molesting me were the Preachers and that one uncle you'd only see every 5 years.
We had Punk Rock/Heavy Metal to rebel against the machine/parents/school, etc... Now days they rebel by cutting off body parts, referring to themselves as an IT or an They and crying into a phone cause I didn't refer to them as a Binary mechanical robot from the planet beeboobop..
Parents are 1000% to blame for the kids they unleashed upon society..
“Parents are 1000% to blame for the kids they unleashed upon society..” AMEN TO THAT !!!! Teaching their children to take counsel from there feelings rather than Truth by Withholding PROPER Punishment and Facilitating their every desire… Makes the PARENTS Look Good to their Woke Friends, which is obviously more important to them than their Kids Future !!
Parents were forced to abandon their children in order to make enough money to keep a roof over their heads.
No excuse? I was a younger woman of the early 80s. I still made time! See my post above
My friend and i built a mountain once in his backyard. We got in trouble for digging all the holes. But we didn't care cause we had a mountain!
We had the green plastic molded army men when I was younger. Me and my twin brother would set them up and have war using rubber bands for weapons... had a blast!
Me too. We actually had a pirate ship aka the big picnic table Daddy made. My sister and I spent more time playing pirate, Davey Crocket, Roy Rogers and soldiers with our brother than we did playing with dolls. At least the cat who got dressed up in baby doll clothes and pushed around in the toy baby buggy hoped we did.
Haha, definitely remember this!
This meme is so true. When my grandsons were 3, 4 and 5 we would play army and cops and robbers and zombie invasion in the back yard. Of course Pop Pop was always the bad guy lol. They would use sticks for guns and swords and missile launchers and pine cones and cherry tomatoes as grenades.
Miss those days. At 8, 9 and 10 not as much time for straight play anymore. Now everything they want to do costs money.
The left wants you to think little boys are thinking about chopping their dicks off. Mental health people are crazy,,,
Nailed it!
Weapons of war don't belong on our streets.
(fun fact, sticks and stones are literal weapons of war)
That's a good looking assortment of gun sticks.
We had rubber bands and clothes pins are our stick pistols
I could see some children use these "weapons" to play a siege on the White House. Their mission is to take out the current resident and install Donald Trump as the restored President.
lmao if only these kids today knew how much they missed out on.
haha and score if you could jack an old person's cane to use.
Used to nail a few small planks together to make an mp40
Funny thing is as you age the PINEal gland is your most important weapon.
You missed the biological weapon. worm on stick
That's a whole lotta firepower there!!!
Chestnuts with the spikes were my weapons of choice
Yup
& then there were the giant cardboard boxes!
