It's about humans being
present for others including kids. Taking away screens doesn't fix the issue.
Providing safe environments where people can interact, make mistakes, be
curious, etc. This is the goal by my book.
[RR] Here, here!!! Couldn’t agree more! Humans
need help growing up … it’s HARD work! Without a role model to help, things
generally do NOT go well.
I led a BSA Troop for 15 years. 41 Eagles, 300+ First Class Scouts were
taught independence, servant leadership, and community service both by example
and practice. Nothing compares to Adults being present and engaged.
[RR] I would add caring to the list. Children absolutely
KNOW when an adult really cares and you can NOT replace that feeling/knowing
with anything else! Whether they know it or not, the one thing that all your
Boy Scouts (good on you!) will remember as they get older is that YOU CARED! When
asked what they remember about the experience, they will not respond first with
how well you taught them to “tie knots”JJJ “Education is not the filling
of a pail; but it’s the lighting of a fire!” W.B. Yeats
Wealthy and healthy have
the advantage for sure.
[RR] Healthy … absolutely yes! Wealthy …
not so sure.
