DaveP posted:One of the key points mentioned is the fact that parents 'don't have the time' or don't interact with their children much the way our parent did way back when.
The point of having a child is to love them, nurture them, expose then to the world. When you leave them to the 'electronic babysitters', they lose that creativity, imagination and become introverted.
He's not passionate as I am over trains - his passion is coins, science and cars. But that's ok with me.
The takeaway is that truly spending time with children - talking with them, doing things with them and exposing them to different aspects of life, hopefully down the road, they'll want to do the same with their children.
DaveP,
Very well stated!
