most happy and healthy kids have a unique desire to learn and trying to suppress that is unhealthy

things like screen time, finish your plate, etc

screen time is just a limit on time to learn if the kid is using it for the right purposes which you should teach them to

“finish your plate” I was never told that as a kid and I devour anything that is given to me

    screen time is just a limit on time to learn if the kid is using it for the right purposes which you should teach them to

    Even if all you were using your screen time to do is learn, it is still unhealthy.

    At a certain point, the ability to affect change or implement what you want on a large scale requires being a leader of others. It turns out that leadership is a skill best learned through practice. A lot of leadership skills come from interpersonal skills which also come from practice relating with others.

    You don’t learn these skills staring at a screen or a book, but interacting with people.

        And my experience with online and offline communication is that offline communication is superior even taking into account cases where in person communication risks committing a faux pas.
