Question 5

What are the worst habits you see in parents which are then demonstrated / passed onto children?

Answer

This is not as straight-forward as I initially thought and have had to spend some time thinking about it. The over-riding habit children are suffering from today is excessive screentime. I have worked in the technology sector for over 20 years and rely heavily on my iPhone, MacBook and Mac Mini for work as well as the other ventures and projects I am involved in. This means I have to keep strict discipline around my own screentime usage. I try hard to make the computer or my phone 'a' thing and not 'the' thing. Imagine if you had a toolbox full of tools but only ever used the hammer and used it a lot not even stopping to hammer when someone was talking to you. You'd use the hammer for nails but also for screws, pins, tacks, raw plugs... everything (even when you had other, different even better tools in your toolbox)! Now imagine trying to stop a team mate who was always using their hammer, for eveything, all the time. Not an easy thing to do unless you're running a completely autocratic family and it's 'do as I say not as I do'.
