'Don't give your kids digital stuff until they really need to. And if you do, don't give them addicting or vendor locking stuff. Start with things that hava no screen, like audio. Flip phones and radio maybe. Keep it local, don't use the cloud. Don't give them reddit, but nostr. Don't do youtube, but invidious. No windows but linux, no spotify but wavlake and CD's and MP3 players.

No mcdonalds but healthy food. If they don't like your food, teach them how to be healthy, or do a better job at making it. Let them have enough water and milk and let them run. Let them go iceskating, on the bike and trough the woods. Let them climb and let them explore their own abilities while playing. Let them be social and teach them morals and health. Let them look around, so they can escape in times of need.

Some parents are acting as if they would rather ignore their children then giving them love, staring as zombies on their screens or ignoring activities of their children while the children are looking for signs of life and happiness from their parents. Don't be like those parents.

They are the closest, the ones that are the most connected to you, the ones that want the best for you all times, if you treated them good. Don't waste your and their oppertunity at precious happy moments.'
