All of us out here trying to parent well in 2024 could benefit from a bit of therapy. I know I do. It takes a village, but many of us are operating with villages with one, two, three or four people…and it’s simply OVERWHELMING xx
The internet/Gen Z/teachers say Gen Alpha can’t read and are terribly behaved. Is it because us millennials are raising ‘iPad children’? Are millennial parents allowing their kids too much screen time (and too much control of it) because of gentle parenting, or are people misunderstanding what gentle parenting actually IS? Is permissive parenting to blame? ARE millennials just lazy parents? The omnipresence of technology in Gen Alpha’s formative years is apparently causing shorter attention spans, impaired social formation along with so many other negative effects…and I don’t think permissive parenting is helping. Let’s deep dive, and PLEASE get involved in the conversation down in the comments! I’ll read EVERY SINGLE COMMENT and will reply to as many as I can xx
