[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At 10 I was taking the public bus in DC and had to be aware of the time to the minute to make my transfer. I can't believe how many parents are saying keeping track of time is too much to ask. I'm so incredibly worried about this generation. I went to a pool party yesterday and several parents commented on how "confident in the water" my kids were. Um, they are 6 and 7 and have been swimming like that for 4 years. The expectations seem pretty low nowadays as to most skills. I'm not looking forward to supervising these kids at work in 15 years. [/quote] Exactly. I prefer to raise children who will be competent by the teen years, so that if for some reason they don't have an adult handy (and most won't when it's actually needed), they can handle whatever situation it is. I certainly want them to be able to stand on their own by 18![/quote]
