> killjoywashere Name checks out. In all seriousness, though, you're absolutely spot on. My youngest is almost 4 and I caught myself repeating the same mistakes with her that I made with my oldest. I'm much more strict with myself now than before, I aim to protect her from myself. Going back to correct missteps, such as taking my oldest daughter's iPad until she's older, has been very tough. Without going into too much detail, I'd like to acknowledge the escapism epidemic in the United States. Thank you for the book recommendation, too!
