“I really like most trends and hope to live long enough to see what these little things become as adults. The vast majority of kids today are not emotional enough to have normal etiquette in a restaurant. I’m aware that it’s not in control, but I don’t understand what that means.” Reem J.
I think parents should let their kids be kids.
“A never-ending race makes kids anxious. In general, I think we need to lay off elite adolescent athletes, personal coaches, tutors, college prep classes, etc.” Let’s get back to enjoying our youth and stop focusing on our ‘future’ from the moment we emerge from the womb.” Dawn J.
I’m concerned about excessive screen time.
“I spend too much time on my phone!” — Susan F.
I think some parents would benefit from taking on a more authoritative role.
“Many of today’s parents are their children’s ‘friends’, so no one can control them.” — marilyn c.
I think parents can do more to encourage basic manners.
“Respect and manners are very important to me. Thank you very little. Not returning messages is also very rude. Another irritation is constant tardiness. You learn to be alive.
Spending quality time with children is also very important. Spending time outdoors is much more rewarding than spending time indoors playing video games. ” — Karen C.
I am disappointed that vaccination rates among children are declining.
“Children require minimal vaccinations unless there is a valid medical reason. Unvaccinated children are a public health nuisance and people without medical training Decisions should not be made that affect the population.” — Dawn J.
