Unfortunately they seem to forget we are not living in the days of their childhood. The world and society continually move on and all of us (including our children) move with it. Times change and so must we. The life of a child in the 50's and 60's wasn't one of excitement and discovery (unless one had money) it was, for many tedious and boring. The children of today can (just as we can) thanks to the Internet, among other things, explore the real world in a global sense. They are not being poisoned they are being enriched and empowered.

Yes, children aren't allowed to go and play in their fantasy world, where they learn the really important things in life. Boredom is a good thing, it makes them creative. With all the technology around them, they expect to be entertained and have their every want immediately satisfied. They are also over tested at school in order to meet yet more of those ridiculous government targets. Pre-school, they are often left with strangers, whilst mother is out working.

In some ways it's better. children used to be controlled by violence and fear. Now there are laws against violence to children. However, crossing the road and finding places to play is more difficult and pressure to grow up fast is on all children. kids are "dating" at 8 years old and having sex when they are just about old enough. They have few role models. I have a great nephew, he was going through a bad patch when he was 14 and wanted to go away with his girlfriend on holiday. Far too young. but I sent him money and told him to go. It was the lesser of two evils. I send him a voucher for food now he's at uni - to get food for Christmas from the supermarket. I had a letter thanking me - even though I never see him. He still remembered I helped him get away - when he needed to at 14 years old. I'm a role model - even though I never see him. His sister emails me and calls me her GREAT uncle, I call her my GREAT niece. lol

I would sooner been born in the 1950s than now. It is the countryside that is being destroyed (mainly by farmers) and the town quality of life has gone down because the green fields and wasteland are being built on and it is getting too crowded. Government policy of town cramming and encouraging the motor car.
