Well folks, two years on and i am sat here wondering where did all the patience go during the lockdown. Yesterday i had the misfortune to be in tesco's at 5.30 pm and a recalcitrant male manchester united fan impatiently stood so close to me i assumed he wanted to share my clothes. When i pointed out that there should be space between us, that per haps i should put on three stone and then he would not be so eager to get so close, he said he wondered if i would finish my business before match kick off at 8pm. I was delighted to tell him - that was his priority not mine and i do not like football.
Still - this is the attitude i speak of in my new book - Making Demons - How we make our children unwell... ISBN 978-0-9567083-4-2. What have we been teaching our children over the last 200 years? to be unwell, to have anxiety and depression and demand everything NOW!
With a rising rate of suicide and psychiatric illness, psychological disorders it is time we stand back and really think about what we are doing and what we wish our children to be like in the coming century? is it a gimme culture or a 'consideration' culture we wish to foster - selfishness or SELF-LESS-NESS.
