First, where in Europe are you?
I liked your instagram feed. :)
I wish the counselors I've had over the years had your touch, understanding and openness.
Technology is a rough topic. I mean, I've got family all over the world and without it it would be difficult to keep in touch, like you mention.
Though, I can see in families how it also detaches us.
And oh man, there are so many big "hits" the generations that grew up with the internet have taken. Like, social media (I don't think this has been good for our kids honestly.) And, Internet porn, (also not good.)
The list is large, but I can clearly see how these things have messed with family. Children and teens getting morals from the hive mind of the internet has generally not been good.
I'd like to continue commenting on this, but I'd like to first know what country you're living in :) I've been around, and have taken great interest in how societies, though very similar, are not so similar in rather deep aspects of social understanding. Like, family understanding. biological bonds, authority over family, etc.
Thanks :)
@ayoungblood Thank you for your reply on my post and much thank you for my Instagram compliment and my work in general. I am based in Slovenia (Ljubljana), thus I work with clients from all over the world if that was your question as well.
I love my work, as I do work with families and children, as well as young adults. I am taking a special interest in young people, as that is part of my researcher for my Ph.D. and in general, as I know this fragile period can be very intimidating and the transfer not really easy.
I totally agree with everything you said about the internet, communication, the effects of the internet on us and especially on our children. Not to mention the exposure of the pornography has gotten a way of our hands. Not good for our children at all.
The Internet can save you a lot of time for the researcher on anything you need and communication with our loved ones can be easier and we can stay in touch more frequent, thus it has many downsides as we both mentioned it. There will be more posts to come on this topic. I hope this helped :)
Thank you:)
Thanks for your reply :)
My biggest concern with how things are going in the world is the understanding, or perhaps more so, misunderstanding of the biological bond between children and their parents.
I know this bond is held top priority in some countries, while others refuse to accept it is of any significance. What's your opinion?
Question, authoritative agency (Child protection), observes parental negligence and places children out of home, indefinitely. Excluding factors of abuse and neglect. Is this something common Slovenia?
Welcome :)
My research and my personal opinion on mostly Western culture or I will lean more towards my country the relationships between children and parents are unhealthy in many ways.
It's great to help and nurture your children, thus don't rap them in a bubble, so they don't know how to live their own life and stop to meddle in their personal life as well. No wonder many of them literally refuse to leave their parents nest etc. I could go on and on :))
Your second question on Child protection etc. we have authoritative agency that deals with child neglect, however, this is not my area of expertise to be exact. I am not really able to give you any exact numbers or facts on this.
