There was a time when I was younger that the streets would be filled with kids playing.
All of us would ride our bikes plus play tag all day long until our parents called us for dinner.
My Grandpa used to whistle really loud when it was time for us to come home, I can still hear his whistle in my mind. Those days are long gone now plus the streets are empty. I just feel of all of the kids sitting in their houses now staring at their screens. It’s so unhealthy for them but it seems too difficult to stop. I am trying to get my child interested in fixing air conditioners for a living since he is so nice with his hands. All he seems to want to do though is play on the PC all day long. I showed him how our whole-house air purifier works plus how to update the HEPA filter in it but then he just went back to playing games on the PC. It’s such an addiction that he will cry if I tell him he can’t play on the PC for a few hours. I feel each week I’ll have him wash the air filters in our oil furnace plus air conditioner to be able to use the PC for a couple of hours. There needs to be some kind of chores each week for him or he will just stare at the PC all day long like a zombie. I feel if he became an air conditioner workman he would find some satisfaction in it.
