RE: Child's Upbringing Is A Deliberate Move By The Parents First_Charity Takes Root From Home ......

These ideas do not contradict your post, with which I agree on many points. I would like to share some reflections from my experience as a psychologist and psychiatrist. I believe that children are shaped by their era, and that’s perfectly fine. At times, they resemble their era more than they resemble us, their parents, which serves as an incentive to keep trying to raise them as we were raised. But the truth is, they live in a different world. We played outside; they live online. We waited for things; they expect them instantly. It’s not that our time was better—the rules have simply changed. And we’re not losing them; we’re just learning to walk beside them, not in front. Because when life gets loud and confusing, they will still turn to those who make them feel at home. That’s us.

Stop fighting their world. Instead of saying, "Back in my day…,"ask, "What do you like about this?" Curiosity builds connection. Let’s not give them answers—let’s give them tools to think. Say, "Do you think that’s real?" instead of "That’s fake." Help them develop the ability to question things. Let’s be a safe haven, not a courtroom. They will make mistakes, and they should know that with us, they don’t have to feel shame. Make the most of today’s opportunities: if they love videos, share something great with them; if they’re always on their phone, send them an "I’m proud of you" message. Speak their language, but stay grounded in our own.

In the end, they’re growing up in their own time, but love, values, and the feeling of home never go out of style. We are helping them find their most desirable path—one of usefulness and virtue.
