It's pretty easy for me, and likely most of you, to avoid 'spoilers' because we know how to exist and function 'unplugged' because we did for most of our lives.
But my question for you is, how do you teach - or do you even bother - your children to unplug and avoid spoilers in this present insta-information world of Facebook, Twitter, etc?
I do, as well as you all most likely, teach and enforce moderation in regards to informational technology - but most likely out of routine requirements (no blank until you finish your home work) or manners (no texting in front of company). But my query isn't about moderation for the sake of moderation... it's purely related to avoiding spoiling the 'first time experience.'
As the author of the article stated... you only ever get to experience something the first time once.
Do you instill the importance and benefit of intentional, self-imposed, sequestration in your youth? So they can appreciate 'the reveal' as it was indented to be experienced?
In closing, I'm going to be family-engaged for the next two weeks so won't be on-line much so I'd like to take this moment to wish you all a...
Very Merry Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, a Festivus for the Rest of Us, and the best wishes for a Joyous and Happy New Year.
With Kindest Regards,
