I visit that the looks from people inside their cars judging me when my children and I drive by in our minivan. The television in the trunk is around and my kids are immersed within their kid-friendly tablets. One gets the Kindle for both children and also the other, that is older, uses my spouse's older version iPad. They've headphones on which are synced with all the TV. Therefore I get it. From the exterior, it looks like I am a dreadful parent that is stuffing displays in front of my children to keep them quiet in the vehicle. And in a way that's correct, but there's a whole lot more to it than that.
What you never see is that I am homeschooling my kidsso when it appears as though they are rotting their brains screens in the vehicle they are actually learning. As I'm forcing them to action, clubs, sports, and play-dates they have been on their tablets working and reading online lessons. The TV is on, however it's streaming a lesson in Khan Academy on great composers so they are hearing music whether they've been doing homework. So while the outside environment is penalizing me for giving my kids screen time they are totally immersed in learning, perhaps not in poor quality entertainment.
Give Lessons
And exactly why not I give these courses to do while they are in the vehicle? Many days with traffic it can take me two hours to get the elderly someone to her football lesson. That is two full hours of captive learning since they have to maintain the car any way. That usually means that later on, they can spend two hours outsideplaying with their friends instead of sitting in the front of the screen in your home since they already have their course done. If we're going to become trapped in traffic I would rather ask them to participated and busy doing job at the car where they can't really do much of anything else anyway. That's just smart organization and making the most of our time. Plus it teaches them to take advantage of the own time and apply enough opportunity and energy to their benefit.
Therefore spare me along with other parents that the judgmental talks about stop signs and stoplights once you check out and watch with our children with their minds over displays and ear phones on. That you have no idea what they have been looking at or what they truly are doing work on. There is way too much judgment in parenting circles these days and not enough willingness to research different methods to accomplish things. Psychotherapy is not something which works based on a pair of rules. We all have to find ways to do what's better for our kids and that which fits into our lifestyles. And if you are ready to speak with parents who do things differently out of you then you might even pick up some ideas and advice to get new methods to do things yourself which may make your work as a parent easier.
