I’m about same age as you and I don’t remember spending much if any time with my parents. The same goes for all the kids I knew. Most of us kids played with each other or toys we had around the house. I spent a lot of time at my grandparents but even there nobody played with me. We did go to parks often so there was joint activities but they were very hands off. These days I am a father to a 1 year old and I’ve been spending a lot of time with him (work from home on my own schedule). My worry is that I will spend too much time with him as he grows up, and not leave enough space for him to develop on his own through exploration and individuality. Of course I haven’t had to deal with screen time yet and I realize that will be a serious challenge. My goal is to get rid of any smart devices by the time he is curious about them. We don’t own iPads or tablets in general and I don’t plan on buying any. I have no doubts I can curtail my own phone browsing usage but say the same for my wife who is constantly on hers.
