[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have one girl and one boy (teens) and they’re both awesome. What’s so bad with boys now? My guess would be video game addiction is a big problem, but also [b]we have taken away a lot of opportunities for them to problem solve. There’s not as much free range sand lot games where the entire neighborhood showed up and they handled conflicts and scraped knees. Now it’s travel baseball teams and a ton of parent oversight. Less risk-taking. Fewer opportunities to fail because we are all so scared to let them make their own mistakes because college is so much harder to get into these days. [/b] [/quote] THIS is what is the issue with kids now - WAY too much oversight, management, helicoptering and snowplowing of elementary and middle school kids so that they can't manage themselves by high school. But that's true for GIRLS AND BOYS. [/quote]
