Well I'm interested in getting opinions about this. When I was little I would be coloring in a book and watching tv, and my dad would say " either you watch tv or color, pick one!! Not both!!" And so I would pick one. This carried over to my adulthood and at work I would focus on one task, and the boss would say, " hurry up, faster faster! You have to do this and this and this at the same time!" And so I would mess up doing multiple things at once, because my brains wasn't trained to multitask. And so I would get fired.
When I scolded my dad about it, he says, "well they shouldn't make you do twelve things at once. One should just focus on ONE and do it well." Personally, I agree, and at the same time I feel it's not realistic. Bosses want their employees to be cross trained, triple trained, to do everything and if they can't handle it, out the door they go.
So what do you all think? And parents, would you let your kids to do many things at once, or be like my dad?
