[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Beyond the teen snark, there is a grain of truth to my daughter's critique. [b]We come home tired from work and retreat to our separate screens during the week[/b]. Occasionally out to dinner. She has a sport and an after-school club. We cook, sometimes together. We are older parents. Any suggestions as to how to become hipper and happier?[/quote] Put away the screens. Spend time together. Start with Bananagrams (it's easy, fast, and fun) and find other things to do together as a family, even if it involves reading in parallel. Go out to dinner occasionally, watch a movie together from time to time, find a talk at a bookstore or visit a museum together on a weeknight every so often. Pretend it is 1988 and there are no screens to retreat to.[/quote]
