His Wish, My Hope

I have to think about what presents I buy for my son’s birthday and Christmas.

Actually, I already know what he wants the most. It’s a tablet.

However, I don’t want to give it to him because I guess he will use it all the time if I tell him to stop.

Giving children tablets at an early age may affect them negatively because it will make their eyesight poor. On top of that, they might not be good at thinking proactively by receiving information from devices one-sidely.

He likes not only controlling electronic devices, but also playing the piano, driving a car, and playing pretend.

I would like him to be creative, but this thought may be my egoizm.

It’s really difficult to separate my hope from training.

By the way, I’ll compare above my post with ChatGPT’s revise.

I have to think about what to get my son for his birthday and Christmas.

Actually, I already know what he wants most. It’s a tablet.

However, I don’t want to give him one because I’m afraid he’ll use it all the time, even when I tell him to stop.

Giving children tablets at an early age may have a negative effect on them because it could lead to poor eyesight. On top of that, they might not develop the ability to think proactively if they mostly receive information passively from devices.

He likes not only using electronic devices, but also playing the piano, driving a car, and playing pretend.

I want him to be creative, but maybe this is just my own ego.

It’s really difficult to separate my hopes for him from my ideas about how to raise him.

According to this revise, when I write English, I tend to translate directly Japanese into English. Also, I tend to put what I want to say into only expressions I know. That may be why my English is often unnatural.

Thus, I should read more English books and familiar with English expressions.

-at an early age

-affect them negatively

-electronic devices

-play pretend
