Some might think its because of the tragic events of 9-11. Some might argue that in many ways our society is attempting to become too much of a homogenized population, whatever it is, its making our nation paranoid and simply scared squatless. Problem is that fear is being passed down or in some cases taught to our kids.
Example. Next door to me a gaggle of kids reside. Two are smart as heck, one is cuter than a button, and also very intelligent, albeit not gave credit for it.
Then there are the other two of the brood, one male youth , is so spooked that even a task as simple as fetching a lost ball from under an old truck, in an old barn had this kid in tears. Come on now, This is a 9 year old going into 5th grade in a month or so, and he’s spooked of cats, and bats? Talk about citified induced fear. Then over yonder are three kids three boys, One looks like a chimpanzee monkey , which picture would really make evolutionists convinced they are right. The other two are so spooked that just the slightest thing, makes one of the boys, cry like a girl. Have these kids been nurtured or neutered? Then there are the two, that huddle around me, who love the fact , that I helped them find the world.
A three year old, that understands college aged words, even though she can’t say them is a step in the concept that this little toddler is going to be a leader in whatever career field she goes into in her future life. The other boy of I think 7 years old, loves to tinker with engines, so hangs around me, and as such , his mother hen, thinks that the fact that our club guys etc talk , perhaps more than we ought, but talk about women. He’s gotten the idea of his head, that girls have cooties. And this is wrong?
Are other parents cutting off the flow of testosterone and other grow up bodily fluids , thinking they need to over protect? Has recent news events such as the Casey Anthony trial and what lead up to it, made parents, try to cover the eyes and push further in the nest their young?
Our nation is entering a time of both scientific, and political change such as we have never known. Populations from all over the world will be bidding for advancements in both technology as well as nation dominance. If American parents, want our children to be able to compete, more than just advanced scholastic skills need to be taught, both in and out of schools. Life has to be taught as well. We no longer can over protect our kids, we need to expose them to the real world, and if they hear a word that they don’t understand , as parents we should not , encourage or discourage the word, explain in real terms what the word means and move on. Sex, Drugs, and the Internet, are showing our kids so much these days, some good, some bad. We need to educate, not just shelter our kids.
