Families are living as autonomous beings under the same roof.
Kids live in a very separate world from their parents.
They do things on the internet, social media, their parents have no idea about.
Their parents are on their screens doing their things.
And there's really no...
connection there because kids have learned to interact with people socially very differently than you and I did.
And the way they've been taught to interact is not real.
It's not satisfying.
They're lonely.
And that's why depression is going up because there's no sitting down, talking with dad, looking him in the eye, having dinner and saying, you know, how's that buddy of yours at school that was doing so badly?
Talk to me about that.
No, no, no, no.
You say, oh, yeah.
But it's absolutely true because what you learned as a kid, what you experienced as a boy- Or didn't.
Carries into how you parent in a way it drives your parenting.
But dads don't know that.
