Hi @galenkp, I agree that families are increasingly fractured, and I would add that there is a great interest in attacking the family. The list seems to me spectacular, and I think very detailed. I would add one more element. Storytelling. I remember how happy I was when my grandfather or my mother told me one. However, what I see nowadays with a lot of sadness is that many parents follow the most comfortable path, like leaving the child in front of a screen instead of sharing a moment and a reading.
I like the idea of storytelling and have fond memories of my dad's stories when I was a kid; he'd make them up (always too adventurous for bed time) and with a little imagination (his and mine) they really came to life.
Screen time is pretty much it these days for so many kids which is a real shame.
I really like this answer, it makes me feel less of a weirdo.
Good night, Galen.
