just remember that you will never be given more then you can handle. There will always be a way to make things better. I look around and see that we are so spoiled. Don't get me wrong, technoligy is a great thing. But sometimes it blurs our vision. Now we can't even get up to turn the channel on the tv. We will spend 10-15 minutes looking for the remote and not have turned the channel at all. We are so lazy sometimes.
no sh!t. just look at what the ps2 and the xbox are doing. especially the internet. parents need to take control of their kids. they just throw all this stuff in their kids faces and go about their business. when i was younger, there was no therapy, or ritalin, or dr. phil... just plain @ss whoopin'. and it worked.
kind of ironic then that most of the people in these forums are kids in there teens. Your right, there more interested in there postion in life, job,ect. to really see what there kids are involved in. I myself have got myself doing just those thing with my two little ones. It's so easy to just tell them to go what a video, rather then go and spend time with them. It's something that we have to keep a watch out for. One generation can change everything, just look at the 1960's and 70's.
it is quite ironic. but i can see just throwing stuff at the kids faces. i mean, they turn into little damiens when they turn five. and after all the bullsh!t from work, you tend to go for the quick fix. and sometimes grown ups don't realize that if only you spend time with the kids, they'll act out less. attention is what they seek in the first place when they act out, and when you give it willingly, there's no reason to.
