It’s true that technology greatly improves our lives, but do we use it excessively?
Absolutely, in my opinion. We occasionally allow our computers and smartphones to take up a significant portion of our time without even realizing it.
instead, the time we can spend with our loved ones and children.
Although we advocate for our children to spend as little time as possible in front of screens, it appears that we disregard this advice for ourselves.
A Hockley, Texas, daycare center owner decided to voice his disapproval of parents using their phones to pick up their children because he couldn’t stand it.
He put up a sign on the front door of the daycare facility.
After that, a mother named Juliana Farris Mazurkiewicz snapped a picture of the sign and posted it online.
She anticipated reactions from others, but she was unaware that it would create such a stir.
While some people concur with what was written on that piece of paper, others argue that the owner had no authority to instruct parents on how to raise their children or what actions to take.
On the sign was printed:.
“Get off your phone! You are picking up your child!”.
We’ve seen kids trying to give their parents their finished work while the parent is on the phone. Your kid is happy to see you! Are you not happy to see your child?
A child has said, “Mommy, mommy, mommy,” and the parent is looking at their phone rather than their own child when we hear this. It is disgusting. Take off your phone now.
After admitting that she was using her phone when she came across the sign, Juliana said that she agreed with the owner’s points of view and became even more aware of how accurate the owner’s words were.
Although I was a little taken aback, I had no bad feelings toward the daycare.
I’m confident that the staff will do whatever it takes to please the parent in order to protect the children’s best interests. “.
Nonetheless, the sign infuriated a few parents.
This makes no sense at all. Who is to say that a parent of a child shouldn’t use their phone because they might be at work, have an emergency, or be dealing with something else that isn’t their concern? “.
Irrespective of your opinions, one thing is for sure. Since children grow up so quickly, we should make every effort to spend as much time as possible with them. Do you think we should set technology aside and focus on living in the moment?
