Raise Adults, Not Kids
The focus of parenting should shift from merely raising children to preparing them for independence as adults. Parents grapple with anxieties about safety in schools, especially in light of past tragedies like Columbine. Law enforcement emphasizes the importance of children remaining calm and attentive during crises, rather than resorting to their devices for communication. This highlights the need for parents to relinquish some control, as constant checking in can hinder children’s situational awareness. Educators and parents are engaging in discussions about the role of technology in schools, with many advocating for policies that limit device usage to encourage better focus and preparedness among students.
