It is important and is needed to keep in mind the
valuable of the family unit. It is necesary to make pause to consider
what makes families tick from a technological standpoint. Nowadays,
device-dependent age, many people may argue that the family unit has
suffered. Kids are too busy playing video games, texting and posting on
social networks to interact with somebody else.
Sometimes parents are not paying attention to their children and the
things they are doing through the internet, or even the people they are
chatting with, maybe because parents are working too much or because of the
activities they are doing during the day; and at the time that the family is
together, could be at night, each member of the house is using any kind o device,
so they do not have time to speak, and parents do not have time to listen their
children. Some people could see this problem as a normal thing because of the
time, etc, etc. But belivable or not; this problem is affecting the
relationship between parents and their sons, because they are losing confidence
and time to let their sons share with them the experiences of the day, the new
friend the met, or the problem they are facing.
For these
and for many more reasons, parents have to be aware, and not lose those
precious moments with their sons, because one day they will realize that their
children have grown, and it could be that those children are not the kind of
people parents were expecting them to be.
