I'm reading a book titled the Anxious Generation. It's about how kids went from a play based existence where they were outside playing having fun. To now where you can't spot a kid without a phone or some type of device. And the mental affect it has on them. My wife and I were at a restaurant a while back. A group of mothers and their kids came in. Every kid has some type of electronic device. I was riding my bike by a local park last week. There was a kid being pushed on a swing by an adult. The kid was holding onto the swing rope with one hand. In the other he had a phone he was looking at. And the adult while pushing the kid was looking at a her phone too. Ridiculous.![]()
