Society & Culture
I sit down with Kristen Cannata, a mother of two young boys, to discuss how she navigates the world of parenting in the age of technology and bullies. She talks about the need for children to appreciate that the interactions they have with people, animals, and the natural world are always more satisfying and important than an iPhone, TV, computer, or iPad. And how essential it is for children to learn how to treat others as they want to be treated. Part of loving children is showing them how to behave so they treat themselves and others with respect and kindness. Children need to know life is not perfect and that there will be situations where they have to deal with challenges such as bullies. Parents must take care of themselves so they can be fully there for their children.
