[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's telling that many Silicon Valley families are raising their children in a mostly tech-free environment, including private schools that have banished screens. I think going forward there is going to be increasing separation between the well-educated families who are mindful and vigilant about the damage screens can do to neurological development in children and families that don't care or who are unaware. The ability to concentrate and read longform is going to be a prized skill in the years ahead. It's kind of sad that reading with your toddlers is basically [b]tiger parenting[/b] now.  [/quote]

Lol. I may have been a Tiger parent since my kids were born. Regardless of what the rest of the world is doing, I make sure that my kids get both the socialization of public school and the curriculum of a classical education at home. [/quote]

In 20 years, some people will look back and wish they had been tiger parents. [/quote]

Same.  And it is a lot of work. We heavily supplement at home to keep them actually learning new content [/quote]
