Simplicity

Today's children lead stressful lives. There is so much to do, so many places to be, so many roles to play. Parents have to be expert time managers.
LIttle kids are bombarded with cell phones and iPods, computers and electronic games. Over the holiday season I met a dad who said he told his two year old to choose a handful of toys she would actually play with so they could give the rest away to needy kids.

Kids and adults alike get so preoccupied with things they forget to connect to people as people. For some families sitting down to watch a movie is considered doing something together. It is--if you talk about the movie afterward.

Notice the many ways you and your child have interference and walls to prevent your simply talking with one another:the electronic games, radios, ipods (that keep you from hearing what your child is listening to.

What ever happened to talking and playing gamaes that are free from electronics and gadgets. Does anyone ever gather around the piano or pull out the guitars and sing together any more?
My famikly did that when I was small and the family I raised did too. Makes for lots of smiles, hugs and just plain enjoyment of one another.
Something to think about. Children grow up so fast--in the blink of an eye they are out the door! Create memories you will treasure forever.
