[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was outside all the time in the 70s- bikes, walking, hopscotch and tag, imaginary games with kids in the neighborhood, swings, grandparent's farm. 
Kids were "tougher" -[i] I remember getting so thirsty, I thought I would collapse before going inside for a drink of water. My DS11 g[/i][b]ets kind of whiny at the first sign of physical discomfort. [/b]I sound cranky, but it's because he grew up in the time when I had a constant sippy cup, or bag of cheerios, or I popped him in a stroller when he got tired of walking...on the other hand, kids are "smarter." Academically, he is light years ahead of where I was at his age and has a lot of stamina for schoolwork, solving harder problems, etc. [/quote]

This. We tolerated hunger and thirst. Now some whacky people put it into our heads that we should never be hungry. BS.
If you can't tolerate hunger, how can you control yourself? I have been around people who can't stay on task without running for a drink or a snack. I am not talking hunger, just "I could eat something", and off they go. Consume 200 calories and get back to work, by day's end, they've eaten 500 more calories than me and they wonder why I am not obese. [/quote]
