Parenting Expert Warns Modern Parents Are Creating a Generation of 'Saps' 📱

A parenting expert says modern mums and dads are raising a generation of "saps" - by choosing the "easy way out" and "placating" kids with screens. <br /><br />Katie Jackson Park, 43, believes parents today have "lost their backbone" and need to return to core values - such as setting boundaries - and help kids learn life skills.<br /><br />She advocates for families to spend "conscious time" together, rather than reaching for technology which she says should be used "as currency". <br /><br />Katie believes kids should be "bored" sometimes and by not being taught the right way to behave says they'll struggle to regulate emotions or "navigate the world" as they get older.
