[00:00:00]It's because we have taken the relationship of children to us for granted. We think of parenting as a role, something you do.

[00:00:07]That's the biggest mistake that that that to think that it's actually a skill or it's a role or it's a set of responsibilities. No, it's a relationship.

[00:00:18]What what the screens do they're it's insidious this way. They're meant to engage us, incredibly engage us. And so when a screen when our attention goes to the screen it automatically separates us from those we are with.

[00:00:38]Okay. So it's a device that separates us.

[00:00:42]But it also distorts the attachment. It changes attachment to seeking to be with those that we like more than those who care for us.

[00:00:54]And so we are we're going backwards.

[00:00:59]We are more allergic to differences, more homophobic, more concerned with people being like us. And the screens are aiding and abetting this regression, human regression.
