brownney commented, “It’s exhausting my dear, don’t give my children phones anymore till they’re 18.”
pweetie_ik stated, “It’s quite harder now. The collective raising of kids isn’t attainable anymore. Being raised by the community made it much easier, and also, there was less information to distort thought.”
deliveredby_zay offered, “The best way to raise your kids nowadays is to teach them righteousness…. teach them the ways of God. I still thought about this few days ago and honestly teaching children to be righteous is the only way out.”
