“The Great Rewiring of Childhood, in which the phone-based childhood replaced the play-based childhood, is the major cause of the international epidemic of adolescent mental illness.” another first-class video and transcript guided by rational thought and evidence from the ACADEMY OF IDEAS.❤❤❤
Too much time spent using the internet results in a wasted existence and is denying everyone the opportunity to a more sociable, productive, healthier, and & life. Your children’s mental/physical health and social development are dependent on parents/grandparents/caregivers weaning the children [and themselves] from the internet devices and substitute with real-life fun and play. You could start by organising activities with them, and then let them choose for themselves using their own imaginations to encourage creativity skills. However, during the week, you could ask older siblings to research & make a list of activities they think others might like to try. Not only will you have a closer bond, but by creating happy memories together, you will help the children develop coping and social skills to prepare them for adulthood.
Due to the noticeable decline in security on our streets, safety must be addressed at all times. Obviously, younger children should never be left unsupervised. Remember, having fun together can improve the mental health of adults too. Make sure your home is secure before leaving it in case it is being watched, as crime gangs observe daily habits, in areas they want to rob.
I have already suggested some practical advice in the section: PUT SOME FUN AND PURPOSE BACK INTO YOUR LIVES
CHOOSE, a healthier and more secure alternative…
Families should organise a fun day inside or outside with their kids, every week where possible. You will all have something to look forward to. Adults can shove an invitation, though the doors of families you can trust. Look for a grassed area of open space which can be used. Your kids will be safe with several responsible, trustworthy adults watching over them. You will also learn more about who lives near by and as you get to know each other better, you can share useful advice, assistance etc and perhaps discuss a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme with home CCTV, to monitor any suspicious behaviour in the area.
Ask them if they have any useful items which the children can share – to play with, but stop the kids using phones. They are addictive, which is not good especially when they are also being used to ‘brain wash’ the kids. Peer pressure online; has increased incidences of bullying and abuse.
You could organise ball games, running about for exercise to help you all sleep better. Aim to increase positive social interactions between the kids. Make a set of ‘friendly rules’, whilst discouraging negative behaviour e.g. bullying. Please use every opportunity to teach social & moral values to bring about positive change.
When I was at school we had sports days with egg & spoon races, sack races and parents had to compete against each other too. Kids love watching adults having fun and laughing together. Try to avoid spending too much money for equipment, be resourceful and improvise etc. Or, ask local council for loans of equipment for the day (you will find out what kind of people they are !) They say that ‘misery loves company’ well prove to them that promoting happiness is much easier and less problematic to deal with. Be happy and enjoy yourselves, despite the misery makers all around.
You could even organise communal social occasions; barbecues, Xmas parties, and save up for a day out during the school holiday time etc. As a result of putting this effort in, you will reap the benefits. You will sleep better, have fun, be healthier; mentally and physically and be closer as a family and as members of your community, I bet more will want to join your group, when they see how happier you are away from everyday stresses.
For those who have either forgotten or who have never experienced a safe, secure and happy life, I will relay my own childhood experiences to you, in the hope you will motivate, & stand together to choose life and not servitude. Our back is against the wall, we MUST join together to come out fighting for our safety and security.
‘I grew up in a quiet street in a clean area full of people who were kind and respectful, very sociable, and made every effort to live peacefully beside their neighbours. Residents & shopkeepers kept their entrances clean.The local shops were run/often owned by local people and customer service was amazing. You did not have to buy in bulk, you could buy as little as 2 ounces of cheese, butter etc ( about 56.7 grams) and most people cooked their own healthier meals, which were not laden with harmful additives. Family life was encouraged, as both parents were not forced into work to make an adequate income. Morals and values/ & good housekeeping skills were taught at home and at school.
Incomes were obviously much lower, but you got a lot more for your money than today and you were not taxed/fined to death. You could afford a weekly social life, holidays and home buying was much more achievable. Front doors were not usually locked during the day ( it was less dangerous back then), and children played traditional games, with balls, skipping ropes, and with their toys, bikes, & prams on much safer streets. There were Saturday morning cinemas – which many kids enjoyed and parents were happy as it was affordable, and sometimes the venue held competitions with good prizes at no extra cost. Bigger companies put money back into the community, for example: The Brooke Bond Tea company asked you for an empty packet of tea ( it had a collectible stamp on the front – for your admission ‘charge’ instead of money), taken to the local bingo hall, [who allowed it to be used for these annual events]; hosting a kind of party for the kids, with cartoons, films and free raffle prizes.
Compare with how safe, healthy and happy the kids are today.
Everybody (above a certain income), paid 20p for prescriptions and the NHS was safer, more reliable and trustworthy. The police walked the streets, investigated all crimes including burglary, theft, assaults etc. They protected the public who paid their wages, and in return they received the publics trust and respect. All of this has gone.
Pupils were not heavily indoctrinated by dysfunctional authorities with twisted, evil agendas. Neither did schools teach an adult rated sexual education, as the teachers would have been arrested and charged under indecency laws. The education authority would never have got away with it.
P.E. classes were twice per week, including swimming, netball football, rounders, cross-country runs, discus, high jump, or gymnastics etc. I was naughty, I dodged out of netball because it caused me throat problems, and amazingly, I still had good comments on my school report, even though the P.E. teacher had never set eyes on me. I think she did it because after a year – she suddenly realised I was absent and it made her look bad!) Cookery/ needlework or joinery one afternoon per week. Children learnt about different cultures from outings to the theatre and with fun activities in class. School outings were a regular part of education and pleasure, e.g. to see puppet shows, or a trip to the theatre, visit famous places like Hadrian’s Wall, Whitby Abbey etc & we visited local newspaper offices and more to encourage employment or training choices.
Kids played together near their homes and older ones looked out for the younger ones, because all the parents and kids knew each other very well and fully supported each other. For decades the govts have destroyed family life, communities/ and any resemblance of a social life by creating divisions in society, promoting hostility, increasing social problems [& ignoring them], resulting in maximum mayhem and chaos; depriving us all of reliable support. They have pushed everyone further into poverty. They want everyone dependent on the members of the WEF/WHO/UN etc – who are only interested in fulfilling their own evil agendas – which they want to FORCE upon you.
❤❤❤❤❤❤ Fun, laughter, exercise, community spirit…
Grandparents can offer so much to the community; sharing skills and knowledge including table tennis, art & crafts, knitting/crochet/macrame, hand/machine sewing, baking/cooking, gardening, woodworking skills, calligraphy etc. Discuss and implement some of the traditional games they played on the streets or in open spaces; eg. chuck stones, hopscotch, skipping, rounders. This may open up ideas for their future hobbies and careers.
When I grew up I never came across a depressed child, unless they came from abusive environments. ADHD, AUTISM and many other health issues did not exist. Families ate healthier food they prepared themselves, and taught their kids how to cook & keep house. They also taught children critical thinking, and other social skills through direct and indirect teachings, to enable them to interact well with their neighbours & become socially acceptable members of society. The lack of animosity inside communities avoided many disputes and was mutually beneficial; as people actually looked after each other.
Corporate greed and incompatible leaders have ruined millions of lives, it is time for the public to make the effort to bring about positive change – by taking on the responsibility ourselves – to improve family and community life to the benefit of all concerned.
