We now have generations of children whose parents gave them everything they wanted when they wanted it. They never learned how to deal with disappointment.
Sometimes I think, our schools and too many parents, fail in their jobs, because of this.
as you mention, generations have given their kids everything they wanted, when they wanted.
Schools have relaxed discipline rules. We hear how they give out participation trophies.
We hear how some sports activities for kids don’t even keep score of the games, so that everyone is a winner.
A lot has changed over the years, and not all of it for the better, by any means.
