I can't believe that those of us 50 years of age and older actually survived for all these years without all the "advice" that the parents of today seem to require. Honestly, I'm sick of it. Stay off the electronics and pay more attention to your children's and their needs and maybe you'll figure it out on your own like our parents had to do. It's a much more satisfying feeling and sense of accomplishment when you actually resolve the issue yourself. Try it - it works! We baby boomers are living proof.
Oh, and a huge thank you and "way to go" to our parents!
