Technology is ruining young kids. Parents don’t read to/with them anymore. More and more lately start school without knowing how to read.
Well, it’s definitely less work than actually talking to or interacting with the kids.
“Kids are different today,” I hear every mother say
Mother needs something today to calm her down
And though she’s not really ill, there’s a little yellow pill
She goes running for the shelter of her mother’s little helper
And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day
You are right! This will become the monster that eats society.
