[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you prevent an awkward child from becoming that weirdo living in their parents’ basement? It’s not always the parents’ fault, what if they have tried everything and the child is still awkward and prefers adult conversation? What do you do?[/quote]

You set boundaries and teach them manners.

Because one day they will be in the workforce and won't be able to just waltz into the CEO's office to show how smart they are.[/quote]

They wouldn't do that. Also, what a strange metaphor. You must think very highly of yourself  :lol: [/quote]

HAHAHA you are so clueless. I work with plenty of young people who were never told they aren't all that and who think that every brain-haired idea they have is brilliant.  Who do you think these kids grow up to be if you don't teach them manners?

I think YOU think very highly of yourself if you are raising a kid who is just welcome to interrupt adults any time.[/quote]
I think this is more of a generational thing than a result of bad parenting. The millenials I work with are the most obnoxious, entitled idiots I have ever met. And I can guarantee that they had more involved parents than many more humble individuals. I think the younger generations as a whole were taught in school or social media that they are special and can do no wrong. It’s not all the parents’ fault.[/quote]

It's all confidence and no skill or talent. [/quote]
I think all the advice on here telling parents to teach their kids boundaries and how to read emotions is great, but maybe also a little over the top. Let the kid figure it out on their own. They will learn sooner or later if they are annoying people. Maybe this is part of the millennials problem, they never had to figure anything out on their own, parents always stepping in to teach a lesson. Sometimes it’s a hard life lesson to have someone tell you to shut up, but hey, next time maybe you’ll stop talking so much.[/quote]

Agree to a point. But it all starts at home.  I think this insane individualism has created a whole generation of people who don't give a damn about anyone but themselves.  Everyone is special, everyone is smart, everyone can make it on their own.  It's just not so.
