[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your listed examples, to me, is jus normal parenting, no? Engaging, parents not distracted by their phones, kids excited to play card game instead of screentime, after dinner walks/play to burn off the wiggles before bed. Etc. Too many labels these days just use common sense, everything in moderation, live/show by example, and choose your battles generally the go-to.[/quote] No it’s not “normal” to play cards and take a walk every weeknight. [/quote] My “normal” childhood (which I cherish every memory of) was being on our own to play (my parents NEVER played with us), dinner together every night, tv then bed. My parents never read to us, never took us on walks, never took us to the park (there was one a block away we were free to walk to ourselves), not too much interaction from them. But I never felt like they should be doing any of that - all my friends were in the same boat. [/quote]
