Wednesday Sentiments
Hello everyone. It has been raining the whole day yesterday. Probably because of the typhoon that hit the northern part of our country. The news from the affected area is so sad to see. I hope everyone are coping up well with this another yet typhoon. I know this too shall pass. And today I woke up early even though I want to stay in bed for a little longer because of the cold weather. My kids have their online class in the morning. As my youngest son was having an online class with their Filipino subject one of their lesson tackles about following instructions. While I was busy doing household chores inside the house, I didn’t notice my child was having a hard time following his teacher. So I came to the rescue, and told him it was just an easy task. He just needs to follow what his teacher was asking him to do. At first I was really annoyed at him because it was just an easy instruction but when it comes to playing mobile games they got it perfectly. So as a punishment I didn’t allowed him to play mobile games for today. Actually I only allowed to them to play at least one hour a day, but their were times that they exceeded on that. Bad mommy here. 😅
To be honest, eversince the pandemic started they can no longer play outside. Prior to pandemic they usually played outside together with the kids from the neighbourhood. Sometimes they spent for about 1 to two hours playing outside and it really saddened me because they haven’t done this for almost two years in a row. Well, they were able to roam outside the village for about a week, they got to ride their bike again after so many months of being stocked up in the garage but for some reason, they weren’t allowed again. We lived in a small village and ever since the pandemic started we had positive cases recorded in the village from time to time. So for everyone’s sake, the acting officers of the homeowners association always reminds us not to let the children and the senior citizens to go outside. Because of these scenario,I can’t blame why kids today are all hooked up with their gadgets. They were deprived from playing outside for long, so they actually didn’t have choice but to divert their attention on gadgets that gives them entertainment for a while. It’s quite alarming though because we adults knew the effects of these updated technologies on young generations.
Since the kids weren’t allowed to play mobile games today, they had no choice but to play with their toys instead. On top of their favorite toys, were megablocks and legos. They were actually both building blocks but megablocks were a lot bigger than lego. I got these blocks when my first born was just two years old and can you imagine after almost ten years, my kids were still enjoying building anything from it. My youngest preferred playing it than lego. Lego on the other was first born child favourite toy. He liked it ever since that was why he always got a lego as presents during special occasions when he was young. He actually built his own legoland inspired by watching lego videos on youtube.
I don’t really know how to end this article since what I have written just came out from nowhere. I don’t even know what title is appropriate for this article.😅Nevertheless I want to thank everyone who came this far. Thank you spending your precious time to dropped by.

My niece and nephew do the same. We are trying to at least minimize their use of it by not allowing them to use the internet. When it comes with their school activities, they’re good at it. Less supervision. They only ask us if they can’t really understand.
