Computers started getting popular somewhere in the mid 80s? Funny, but I forget... TV programs were better in those times. I sometimes have a real nostalgia about the 1980s:) Anyway, we played outside and climbed the trees, too. <br /><br />About smartphones, an auntie of mine chiefly uses Facebook to come in touch with old acquaintances and schedule a lunch together, I think we all could learn from elderly folks, they still prefer real contact to internet exchanges. <br /> Sannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124283361844607678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-73625803902541694842018-06-23T05:54:32.441-07:002018-06-23T05:54:32.441-07:00Hi Sanne,

We did have videogame computers but only when it rained we played with it.But alas, internet has made many a child addicted to their electronic friend. In my neighbourhood they do play outside too so it seems that enough parents have some common sense that a smartphone is not a replacement for real life. <br /><br />Lady F<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-41810493297746059092018-06-23T02:31:44.307-07:002018-06-23T02:31:44.307-07:00Lady F, Wat leuk:)

I'm not at all for day care, after school care, leaving children with Grandma 3 times a week or any other forms of mother substitute though sometimes, unfortunately, it could be necessary. What I meant by "staying home" is that many children spend all their free time with their digital friend instead of going outside where they can run and shout to their heart's delight, as we used to do when growing up. Then when they come home they are so tired all they want is to go to bed:)<br /><br />Luckily where I live, kids are still playing outside. <br /><br />Groetjes terug!Sannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124283361844607678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-60616508989435620652018-06-22T21:50:50.192-07:002018-06-22T21:50:50.192-07:00No indeed children staying home all of their child...No indeed children staying home all of their childhood is'nt good either. At a certain age they do have to go out into the big bad world to learn to survive. What i refer to is that children at a very young age are leaving the home, like daycare. Sometimes mothers have to work because of financial reasons. The childeren are babys .I used to work in daycare so i know the ins and outs of babys away from their mothers. Also children need balance of having a home to go to rest and have peace when they come back from the stressfull world outside, so as the husband ofcourse.<br /><br />I like your blog and by the way: ik kom ook uit Nederland.<br /><br />Groetjes<br /><br />Lady FAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-12192375901801309082018-06-22T10:57:57.890-07:002018-06-22T10:57:57.890-07:00Yes, children probably spend too much time in vari...Yes, children probably spend too much time in various institutions, often from the earliest days of their life. And even when the mother is home, they hardly ever play outside any more, which isn't good, either. <br /><br />Thanks for the link!Sannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124283361844607678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-33167021031953845132018-06-22T05:37:15.549-07:002018-06-22T05:37:15.549-07:00Intresting article!

When women are mothers it is even worse. Women mostly have a nurturing and caring personality which part of her nature. Children sense this very well. Wen mother is stressing the childeren feel it and adapt to it aswell. Also when both parents work fulltime , there is no home that feels like a home for the children. The home is a place where people should feel comfortable en stable, apart from the big bad world outside. <br />Did you know that the first home of a child is in the womb. I read an article (it is catholic) about the importance of stressles inviroment for the pregnant mother.Even in the womb it has to be stressles for the child. Makes you think about the whole adhad phenomena. <br /><br /> http://www.traditioninaction.org/Cultural/A053cpPrenatalScience.htm<br /><br />Lady FAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-78934922122380418392018-06-22T01:06:25.669-07:002018-06-22T01:06:25.669-07:00Rozy, yes, I've heard about that book, and rea...Rozy, yes, I've heard about that book, and read an article written by this doctor. <br /><br />It's interesting to find out that apparently, ADHD wasn't even considered any sort of sickness/disorder until about 1980. Most diseases like cancer or diabetes have been known to exist since ancient times and yet that one was discovered so recently? Hmmm...<br /><br />And the number of diagnoses is climbing. I wonder what's the reason behind it all? <br />Sannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124283361844607678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-68467160153697744372018-06-21T16:01:58.702-07:002018-06-21T16:01:58.702-07:00Parents, teachers, and doctors would benefit from ...Parents, teachers, and doctors would benefit from reading "The Hyperactivity Hoax: How to Stop Drugging Your Child and Find Real Medical Help" by Sydney Walker III, MD. Dr. Walker posits that hyperactivity is a symptom, not a diagnosis; in the same way that coughing is a symptom, but not a final diagnosis. You'd think your doctor incompetent if he listened to your history of coughing and said, "Well, it appears you have a coughing syndrome. Here's a prescription to suppress the cough." What is the coughing a symptom of? Lung cancer, bronchitis, allergies, pneumonia? Same with hyperactivity. Dr. Walker gives lots of examples from his patients, and helps a parents find doctors who are willing to dig further. He also suggests that it could be a lifestyle problem in the home. Very interesting reading. <br /><br />I dislike taking drugs that merely mask symptoms. I want to get to the root of the problem and cure it, through diet, exercise or other means first. I think drugging children is irresponsible and unnecessary.Rozy Lasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019413665136390175noreply@blogger.com
