Deep dives
Avoiding Online Parenting Arguments
Many people waste time and energy getting into online arguments over parenting advice, even over topics that should be universally agreed upon, such as supporting and loving your children. These arguments can be self-righteous, judgmental, and ultimately unproductive. Instead of getting sucked into these pointless debates, it is important for parents to focus their energy positively within their own homes and prioritize spending time with their kids.
The Importance of Prioritizing Family Time
Having children means you should not have time for unnecessary conflicts and debates. Even if someone else is wrong, it is more valuable to spend that energy positively within your own family. As Tom Segura said, parents should not let themselves get sucked into online arguments and should instead prioritize spending quality time with their children. By avoiding these distractions and focusing on creating a loving and supportive environment at home, parents can make better decisions and build stronger connections with their kids.
