The bloody kids. Raising a child. To become a parent is an awesome experience. I am a proud father of one daughter and two sons. Apart from this, after I got remarried, I have been taking some responsibility for my wife's two daughters. I believe they all will be alright. Looks like it. I consider myself a pretty good dad nowadays. So I thought I write this down. These are rules which has worked for me. They are five simple rules:
#2, 3 and 5 are easy. Computer games are, I think, a terrible invention which takes us to a level of being stupid button pushers. Of course this also goes for adults. I have met kids who play a lot of games on the computer. I find it hard to get any real contact with those kids. I get a feeling that their minds are going "beep" and "blip" while they pretend that they are there eating or listening to you. I heard someone say that computer games are good because you enhance your reflexes. Give me a break! I say it takes the kid away from reality. Let the kids solve real life problems! Let him create a real life for himself! #1 is tougher. Both has to work on it. Your kids will feel much safer and this will help them.. #4 can sometimes be difficult but if you persist you will save your kid away from a rotten life. And while the kid is living with you, he/she will feel a lot better. I will be happy to reply to any mail you want to send me regarding this: stefan@tunedal.com
