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":-):-):-) "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.
