RE: Be a grown-up your kid can look up to

Thank you very much, Nathen! I hope she likes it, too :)
I wish I could take credit for the cartoon, but I just found it on Facebook, to be honest and just really liked it.

which she blames firmly on parents giving their toddlers tablets and phones to play on.

I tend to agree with her on this, but i don't think it's just a problem with kids. I notice that most adults these days (so people who had tech-free childhoods) have very short attention spans. Many of them can barely focus on a small online article, if it's too long, then bam - they lose interest. It's a sad state of affairs, one that (indeed) can be improved by reading.
Thank you! you take care, too :D

I agree about it being a problem with adults, especially in SE Asia more than UK, they are glued to phones and tablets everywhere, but it's the toddlers that are a worry. We do see quick improvements however by getting parents to seriously limit their use at home and by using various play therapies.
By the way, it was a coincidence that yesterday I actually wrote a blog post, and it was about public libraries. (not so subtle hint lol)
