Am sitting here in this workshop since 10am plus. The workshop is so good for parents that I feel so many more parents should be here. So many relationships are disconnected and broken because of parental ignorance and crude commands from parents to teens because they do not know how to handle children+internet/games world or worse, do not even know what is happening in the cyber world to be a voice of guidance to their children. Usually ended up with a curt command to shut it off or accusation that they are useless.
Coming for a Cyberwellness for 5 hours would have definitely rebuild parent-child relationship for the next 50 years and more.
The speaker, Keith, ended the session with a video that says... "disconnect to reconnect." We could be in either ways - we could be the ones that's all the time connected to the internet/games/newspaper/work that we are not talking to our children or we are allowing our children to be connected to the internet/games world that they are disconnected from us. No matter which category we are at, there should be a balance we need to draw so that life is balanced. So, being parents, like Keith say, when you ask you children to put down the computer games for time spend with you, you will need to put down that phone/pda to spend time with them as well.
If parents do not catch up with the world they will be the ones left behind farther and farther away... =)
