Episode 2885: Jenny Lee reflects on the first real parenting break in years, as her kids finally entertain themselves, thanks to Minecraft and a finished basement. In this honest and humorous piece, she explores the balance between tech-fueled quiet and human connection, reminding us that even in the digital age, what kids truly crave is time with us. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.hellobrio.com/blog/video-games Quotes to ponder: "Toddlers’ life energy comes to a peak and it shoots out of their eyes and greasy fingers every waking minute of every day. They demand attention at every moment." "In nurturing them back from robot children to human children with eye-to-eye communication and interaction, they seek more tickles and wrestling matches and hugs." "We realize that all they really want is us." Episode references: Trader Joe’s: https://www.traderjoes.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
