Other editions of book Electronic Lollipops

We feed our children electronic lollipops to silence the ache of complaint and fill a void that advertisers would have us believe exists. We do so with the hypnotic glare of a screen and the ease of plastic disposable rubbish. We watch as they become obese, lazy and incompetent in the ways of the world all the while blaming “society” and peer pressure. Communication, life and learning skills have become eroded but the truth is….We are the parents and it is us and only us who can and should take responsibility for the balance and thereby effect change.This is not complicated. Give our children a bat, a ball, play a board game with them, go to the beach, have a Sunday night dinner and chat. Encourage the use of technology in the appropriate setting but promote traditional values, imagination and healthy life styles. Interact, share, and demonstrate with your presence that you care and aim to make a difference.
