The old fashioned ways of instilling good manners in kids is fading away,
In the age of Netflix, Facebook and Tik Tok, parents grapple with what to do as the internet is filled with empty things that take away many useful and creative hours from people.
Catherine Njore is a children book author.
My Stern Mom instill the many forgotten values such as respect for parents and teachers, eating healthy, personal hygiene, moderation, etiquette, care for each other and the environment.
I’d love to stress the moderation part.
We are a generation that supports many stupid agendas that are very empty and callous.
The saying too much of something is poisonous rings true even today, but no one seems to care, to the detriment of society.
The powers that be are also grappling to hold onto that power and will do everything to keep it inckudsing destroying children by lacing innocent-looking technology, entertainment with a mind virus known as woke. Please limit the use of technology, find time to chat with your children, ask them how they are faring.
Be careful.
Njore’s book also reminds parents to take charge of parenthood, even though they are busy.
Children should not be allowed excessive use of technology or TV time. Their brains need to develop through play time.
My daughter enjoyed this book and changed.
