Why did I feel the need?
There is a two part answer to this question
+
Parents could not decide how to keep the kid occupied so they caved in on their demand to consume content on the screen.
Most parents innately do not know varied skills. Looking for them online means having to spend a lot of time, which again is a luxury for most parents.
COVID did not make anything any better. It only made more kids hooked to their screens.
What I saw?
In my late 20s I found myself struggling to find what my calling is, what options really exist out there. Most importantly, the dilemma of having to settle for the conventional route vs taking a chance so late to find what I truly love (PS I did find mine). Even to date when I meet new folks and ask about what their work typically looks like in a day, the responses are mostly filled with jargons & convoluted job descriptions.
What I experienced?
So how do parents make room to make learning fun & be involved?
How to drive Jr's away from screen and towards the real world?
