I was talking to a mother today and thought about today's teenagers; a common diversion for me these days. I worry that our teens are not developing self-reliance and a sense of direction about the outward world. I began to realize that we are actually spending more time with our children but it really amounts to less time. We take them to all their activities which is important for them to have the "right" data on their college applications. More and more meals are eaten in the car driving from one activity to another. We hover over them to make sure they are doing their homework whether they need us to do that or not.
The problem is that we are not necessarily having face time with our kids. Dr. Debra talks about a mother and daughter that were in her office seeing her and were texting each other during the entire appointment. Texting in not face time; even when you are sitting next to each other. Our children even teens need us to give of our time. We need to talk, play together and teach about life. Since we are seeing so many issues with teens in general today we need to spend this more focused time interacting with our kids.
The way I see this is that it is a win – win. Have a great Thanksgiving. Sherri
