Are Our Children So Different?
“Today’s children love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for their elders, and love to chatter in place of exercise… They contradict their parents, talk before company, gobble up their food, and tyrannize their teachers.”
Socrates - 2300 years ago or so.
Isn’t this a great quote? Parents are often criticized for their parenting and it can feel hopeless. Quotes like this give me hope and validation that we have parented a generation that is going to move forward and think of things we never thought of. I never even came up with the idea of piercing my belly button!
So, parent on… Do the best you can and keep gathering information because we learn from others and sometimes we learn that we need some help. Don’t forget www.CollegeWorks101.com has information that can help you with this parenting experience.
