To me it seems lot of the problems with the younger generations these days is that they’re learning the behaviors from their parents. It really isn’t terrible hard (though it does take work and willingness) to get a child to actually sit there and focus on pretty much anything and I mean boring things kids would usual not want to focus on like Sunday school lessons.
Most adults in my parent’s generation have little to no self disciple which was a shock when I moved out into the working world and started interacting with them more.
So unless a child gets lucky with a mentor or personal inspiration they don’t get the chance to learn how to focus on things. It’s like while some people can miss with they don’t know must don’t so they never go looking for it, if that makes any sense.
So I’m pretty sure I’m agreeing with you, just a little bit tired and wordy.
Graphic novels are pretty awesome if a bit pricy. My parent were the sort that any reading even if it was junk was teaching you something so if all you’d read was comics then they’d buy comics or magic cards in the case of my brother.
