Beautiful reminder and perspective Kevin. I especially like how you break down the downstream effects of making eye contact in a real life situation (surfing) where community and partnership matters.
And the recent research mention doesn't surprise me, and I'm glad someone is paying attention to this and calling for more awareness of its implications.
"Recent tesearch¹ has commented on the possibility that the screen invasion in the moments after birth, both nurses and mother, distracts the trust-building mother-baby eye connection and may be diminishing the development of early bonds and security."
