[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I notice that my "urban" kids (Cap Hill) and my nieces from Brooklyn are a whole lot better talking with adults than their suburban cousins (midwestern and southern). Also not as "judgy" of people who are different than them - and less absorbed by their phones.

Not sure if this is due to parenting or geography.[/quote]

I was going to say the same thing. My kids (DC) are really comfortable around adults, any adults really. They also expect that they will be treated like people, and not dismissed for being kids (they get annoyed by this every time we visit family). My sister's kids in AZ avoid adults, and they are all super judgy of how others raise their kids. [/quote]

My vote is it’s the parenting and the kids’ personalities. I have lots of cousins with kids and I haven’t noticed that the ones living in the city are any more mature or “cultured” than the ones in the suburbs. The ones living in the city are wealthier, though. [/quote]
