| > Your kids will be excluded from a lot of conversations and events. Raising your children is the most important thing anybody does in their life. It's not something you do alone, but there is a hierarchy on who should have the most say in raising your children. The hierarchy is something like this: 1. The parents 2. Close family 3. Other parents in the community (if you have such community) 4. Close friends of the parents 5. Tutors, coaches and teachers 6. Responsible and respected adults in the community 7. Any adult 8. Any teenager 9. Criminal gangs 10. Television and Hollywood 11. Silicon Valley companies 12. Government workers Now, if a child gets excluded from not having a smart phone, it seems that everybody above number 11 are somewhat or blatantly neglecting their duties. Get together with other parents and start taking control back from number 11 in raising your children. |
