@futurebird our role as adults is to invite the kids into our world in a gentle way, show them around a bit, introduce them to our reality.
and i think that takes more intentional effort now than it used to.
because the effortless default now is just: hand them a device, let them figure it all out themselves from scratch. and then tell them off for making the wrong choice.
@futurebird yes! i've been thinking a lot about a related question:
now that more and more of our world is experienced through personal devices like smartphones and laptops, how do we gradually include children and youths in our adult world?
for instance: growing up there were newspapers on the table every day, and LP's on the shelf. pieces of a larger shared reality it was possible to learn from.
and then, of course, perhaps reject - but after at least exploring it for a bit.
