💐What I Want from my Children💐
💐What I Want from my Children💐
I want you to know how much I love you.
I want you to remember to be kind and have empathy for others. I want you to know that I think about you daily and worry about you, because Mums never stop worrying about their children. I want you to be happy and healthy. I want you to make good life choices.
I want you to feel valued and I want you to use your life to pursue your dreams. You see, I don't really want or need anything from you, I want things for you. That's all a mother ever wants. We want our children's happiness above all else.
And finally, I want to see you, but if we aren't in the same household, we will do it by phone or video chat this year, because I want us all to be safe. I love you.
Love, Mum 💝💝💝💝
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
