  1. I think it's a product of modern mindset. Parenting is not a job. It's a family relationship and kids are part of the family. Family time and love means more to a kid than material things. We need to put more effort into learning to enjoy living on less so that parents have more time for their kids which makes kids feel loved, secure and confident. It would go a long way toward reducing depression and mental illness which brings about so many negative outcomes in society. As far as internet hazards…they don't have to have phones and internet. Take responsibility for your kids.

  2. My grandpa served in the Army Air Corp in the 1940s and was shot down twice, once he was the only man left alive. When I read a short biography about him, he said that raising children was like and I quote “going to another war”

  3. Despite the crimes of France in Algeria for 132 years..abd they killed more then 6 million innocent Islanders…(Israel and Palestine)..But the determination of the Algerian people is strong.To kick off and remove colonialism from its land..Independence came in 1962
    Stood conspiracy stop double standards….stop genocide enough 40000 innocents killed ..

  4. Maybe schools should teach real life skills like stress management budgeting etc rather than art history or ancient literature about toxic relationship and suicide called Romeo and Juliet.

  5. Frederick Douglas said that it is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men. We don't talk enough about what it takes to build strong children and letting them learn to fail is a big part of that. I call it living at The Boundaries of Your Abilities. That's where you WILL fail more often than you will succeed but that's where we learn the most about ourselves, it's where we find the most satisfaction and where we accomplish the things that bring the most meaning to our lives.
