What a thoughtful essay! My mom constantly complains and chastises my (adult) kids for using their phones. She doesn’t want to understand that nagging them isn’t helping her get closer to them or making them want to converse

more. It demonstrates a lack of understanding and acceptance. Curiosity builds connection; judgement does not.
