I'm pretty sure a person can keep their kids on the straight and narrow without denying them access to Netflix, Amazon, Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, The HIstory Channel, the Simpsons, ABC, the NFL, the NHL, the NBA, ESPN, YouTube, cellular service providers, internet providers, cable television, and Wal-Mart.
And call me crazy, but if you denied all these things to a developing mind and explained your reasoning, I'm pretty sure they would end up hating you and opposing everything you stand for.
My 8 year old gets none of any of that at home, except a little online access for education. As time goes on he will get more and more access, but critically, the addiction will be missing from his brain due to the absence of those inputs through his formative years.
Sure, he sees plenty of it when at other people's houses and that's totally fine. He knows it's normal to them. But since he wasn't raised on it, he doesn't seek it or "miss" it.
Know what we didn't deny him? Real life. He knows his way around power tools better than many "men," he can milk goats, de-feather chickens, and butcher rabbits. He eats the animals he raises, nose to tail. He knows all about life and death. He climbs boulders for fun when it's freezing or raining. He builds fires and forts. Will he end up hating and opposing what I stand for? Time will tell, but I suspect not.
