What a gift you and Peter gave your children! Playing outdoors and playing make believe indoors are like air and water for children, yet they’ve become rare events for most. Beyond that, getting used to being different from an early age becomes like a super power as they get older, when mindless conformity becomes dangerous. Sometimes the most beneficial use of parent power is to just say no like you did. Thanks for this message. I share your passion on this topic; children have borne the brunt of the technological takeover as you clearly explain. Thank you for sharing this important information!!

👏 👏 👏 not gonna lie, super impressive! My kids love the outdoors (camping, fishing, hiking), but they also love their screens. Although, the youngest loses attention pretty quickly and would rather just listen to music. And dance! I couldn’t care less for a TV. We have a tiny one in the living room. I’d never put one in a bedroom. I didn’t have a televisión throughout my 20s, but now, I’d like air playing a podcast on it once in awhile. But I’m super impressed you did that with three young ones (relatively close in age). Kudos to you and Peter.
