[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have 4 Gen Z children, 3 of whom are in college and 1 in high school.  Our 5th is in elementary school so I don't think he qualifies as Gen Z.

While I wouldn't call them "scarred" like it says in the article, I do know that they AND THEIR FRIENDS [b]are quite dismissive of the Millennials[/b], and anxious to avoid a whole plethora of attributes that they believe define Millennials.  It is interesting because I thought it was just our kids but their friends hold very similar perspectives.  None of them drink very much, if at all, and abhor smoking and drugs.  They also are much less promiscuous.  I can see how this Gen Z generation will prize stability more than anything else.  They also are very hard workers.

The major difference I see is in socialization.  The Gen Z kids seem much nicer to others and much more concerned about the thoughts and feelings of others, and the impact of their actions.  I see a lot of Boomer traits in our kids.  I don't think that's a bad thing, actually.[/quote]

I agree. My 18 yo son quickly corrected me when I mistakenly called him a millennial not too long ago[/quote]
