Both kids and teens are addicted to electronics. I also have known many adults who have still not quit playing video games. There is a show on Hulu entitled “High Potential” which I really enjoy. It’s about a single mum with two childenw who was a cleaner at a police station. One morning the staff saw a note about a case. They went back to see the video and sure enough she not only figured out the case but did a nice job cleaning. The chief realized that this woman, Morgan, was highly intelligent. She was called in the next day to explain how she determined the answer to the crime.She came in and explained. When the next crime appeared and the police were stumped, the chief called in Morgan again.Once the chief and lead detective realized she was really smart the chief hired her as a consultant. The lead detective was not thrilled but he eventually came to realize she was really quite brilliant. One day her little boy was sad and she asked him why. He said he was the only child not invited to a birthday party. Morgan immediately call his mother for a playdate the next day. All the guest boy did was play on his electronics. When she opened a fresh box of cookies/biscuits, the boy wanted something else. When Morgan tried to convince him to do something other than electronics, he was rude to her son. He told him he was a boring nerd and that was why he didn’t want him at his birthday. He really hurt her son’s feelings and she told him he could keep the birthday gift she had bought. Parents who promote that type of behavior are clearly not decent. When my daughter had her first grade birthday party, we invited everyone including a downs syndrome girl. The mother called me and asked if she was actually invited and I said,Of course.” She was thrilled. After that from time to time my daughter would invite her home to play. As I worked at home, I had a sitter keep an eye on them in the afternoons while I worked. Sometimes the girl just played with the sitter. It didn’t matter as everyone had a good time. I find it amazing that people cannot stop obsessing over their phones and other electronics, don’t you? The Good Gus Series is available online at Kindle, Nook and Waterstones.
