鈥淩eally liking most of the trends and hope I live long enough to see how these littles fare in adulthood. I do notice the majority of today鈥檚 children aren鈥檛 emotionally regulated enough to use passable manners in restaurants, and I don鈥檛 understand what that鈥檚 about.鈥 鈥 Ream J.
I think parents should just let their kids be kids.
鈥淭he race to nowhere has made kids anxious. I think in general, we need to lay off the elite athletics, private coaches, tutors, college prep classes etc. in adolescence. Let kids go back to enjoying being young and stop focusing on their 鈥榝uture鈥 from the moment they come out the womb.鈥 鈥 Dawn J.
Excessive screen time concerns me.
鈥淭oo much time spent on the friggin鈥 phone!鈥 鈥 Susan F.
I believe some parents could benefit from taking on a more authoritative role.
鈥淭oo many of today鈥檚 parents are their children鈥檚 鈥榝riends,鈥 so no one is in control!鈥 鈥 Marilyn C.
I feel like parents could do more to encourage basic manners.
鈥淩espect and manners are a big deal for me. Saying thank you is almost non-existent. It鈥檚 also very impolite to not return messages. Another pet peeve is being habitually late. Remember, children learn what they live.
Quality time spent with children is also extremely important. Spending time outside rather than inside playing video games is great quality time.鈥 鈥 Karen C.
I鈥檓 disheartened by declining vaccination rates among kids.
鈥淜ids need minimum vaccinations unless there is a valid medical reason. Unvaccinated kids are a public health nuisance and a person lacking medical training shouldn鈥檛 be making decisions that affect the global population.鈥 鈥 Dawn J.
