3 Practices Our Parents Ignored — and Why They’re More Relevant Than Ever
The times have changed, and we have to change with them.
In a general sense, our parents are twice our age.
This has been the usual situation for generations. Every parent tries their best to connect with their children despite the big age gap — however, only some succeed, and the rest fail.
The challenge is that it takes a long time to see if certain rules and habits work. When we figure out what works, it’s often too late to apply it with our kids.
For that reason, below are 3 things your parents never practiced or taught you but are important for you to learn today.
Let’s get started.

- Computer: 1822
- Mobile phones: 1973
- Internet: 1983
- Smartphones: 1992
