Spent a morning out on the town on my day off, and everyone is just fucking buried in their phones 24/7. This realization was so absurd to me

Of course I’m not exempt from this shit, but no wonder people are having so much trouble making friends and creating meaningful relationships in this day and age. So fucking bleak

One of the most distressing moments I've seen of that was when one such kid's mom tried to take away the tablet with some soft words and an urging for them to go play on the swings instead and the kid threw a violent tantrum on the spot, kicking and thrashing and red in the face screaming.

One of mine was like this for a while. Self regulation is a hard skill to learn, especially that young, with ADHD, and in the face of this magic dopamine box. They’re doing a lot better now. Healthy habits and some new coping strategies have done wonders and done so on their terms.
