Sanity is returning

The loss of children discovering who they are is happening. What they like or don't like to do, the development of an independent imagination, soaking in sunshine, creative play, building face to face friendships, and overcoming boredom is what childhood should be, must be!

An update from the UK. Kids mobile phones etc., are steadily being banned in the classroom and schools. Recent research trial was carried out and showed kids improved in the classroom without the phones. It is going country wide. Yes there are still PC suites for certain subjects

Unfortunately, the generation that is currently parenting children were, for the most part, themselves brought up on screens. It is only the older generation, such as Hugh, who remember the blissful days of a childhood free of screens. It will be hard to turn this around.

Children imitate their parents. Parents also need to get off the screen! And pay attention to their children.

The child desires the desire of the parents. The child sees the parent looking at their phone, desiring what it offers to the exclusion of everything else. We see parents walking their infants with phone in hand. Infants see what is more desirable than them.

It needs to return FASTER and it needs to become mainstream.

For concerned parents: Smartphone Free Childhood is a grassroots movement bringing parents together to stand up for healthier, happier childhoods
