Question of the Day!

Primarily discipline. They need to be taught how to behave, how to be respectful. Tell the darned kids "NO" once in a while. I mean, really!

They also need more outside time - or any imaginative time away from all the electronics and screens that occupy their time as it is now.

A more balanced education. This might be a bit controversial, but I honestly think they should bring God back into the schools. When I was a kid, we had the ten commandments and the golden rule on murals on the walls inside the school gym and on posters in our classrooms. We were taught morals and proper behavior alongside Math, Reading/Writing, Science, and History.

And kids need to be allowed to experience life's downs as well as the good. Let them get bumps and bruises while in play. Stop babying these kids. Let them lose at something. Otherwise, when they are adults and the inevitable happens (as it will), they don't know how to handle it.

You know what bothers me on a daily basis? Seeing and hearing a kid throw a massive tantrum because they want something and then seeing the parent give in and buy/give the kid whatever it was they wanted just to get the kid to shut up. Again, kids need to hear that magical word "NO" more often.

Okay, tirade ended. Great question Lilli ☕! Sorry I let loose on this one. But having been a mother and a teacher, and now being a grandmother, I see things getting more and more out of hand with these kids and it is turning them into entitled, uninformed, barely educated brat-children.
