You are dead on. But remember if they took away their phones and gaming systems the adults might have to interact with their own kids and they really don't seem to want to do that.
Most likely, and now they're doing it to their kids. The odd thing about most helicopter parents is while they fuss over every little thing their kids do, the ones I knew didn't seem to have conversations with them.
It’s very distressing. And it’s not just kids and young people who can’t seem to break the hold screens have over multitudes of us. Everywhere, all the time when I’m out in public, I see people with their faces buried in their phones. Walking from the car to some other place, sitting and eating out at a restaurant, at parties, waiting for the kids in the school pick up lines. We’ve stopped looking at one another ( the whole COVID clown show certainly exacerbated this as well), having conversations and engaging in random conversations with strangers. Social isolation on many fronts is clearly one of the strategies being used against us.
I can't say much. I spend tooooo many hours a day reading Substack articles and comments. I don't have anyone to talk to. I don't use my phone much away from home. When I do, I'm usually waiting alone in my car to meet a friend for lunch and I play solitaire. 😏

💯Because they are too traumatised by NOT being allowed to grow up properly. The majority were helicopters to within inch of their lives!!🤗

I’m on substack frequently some weeks too. No judgment here!
