RE: Playing Faceless Roles

in Reflections4 months ago

I'm sure your daughter will be able to look back at both your wife and yourself as good role models, I assume her teachers are generally good people, both at school and at the extra curricular stuff she does (swim teachers, etc). Your daughter has spent some time in hospital, so hopefully she met some lovely people who are kind and supportive there, and then I assume that the friends that you've had over are generally nice people too that your daughter can look up to. Of course, she also has her uncle back in Australia who seems pretty decent and kind.

I think there's a lot more people around for your daughter than may be initially obvious.

Sort:

Her current teacher is, but not all of her year are similar. Her teacher now is older, experienced, and takes no shit. My daughter likes her a lot.

She has a few people that are close, but I always wonder if they are enough, or close enough. It seems like everyone is far too busy now. However, I also have to remember that the expectations of a child and what makes impact is far less than an adult.

Of course, she also has her uncle back in Australia who seems pretty decent and kind.

I wish they could spend time together face to face. The phone is better than nothing, but it is not the same.

Maybe. I think we have to make more of an effort though. We are like others these days too - busy, but not necessarily busy doing what we should be doing.

Hmmmm, good point, like you, myself and my sister were left alone a lot during our childhood... and now both you and I are in crypto... so hopefully you can all put more effort into your daughter and steer her away from this terrible fate.

Just thinking about it, left alone is a great thing for building creativity, but it also has another factor, where interactions with others has more impact. These days, people are never really alone as they are on screens - but then they might treat all interactions similarly, as consumptive experiences, rather than participatory.
