My daughter had a 4H project in the county fair.
Earlier this spring we had a calf die, so the wife dissected it and I pointed out all the organs to them.
Lynley decided to do a presentation on the parts of the calf. She and my wife figured that I would just tell them what each organ did.
Negative.....I made her get an encyclopedia out for each organ and read what it had to say. I did help with condensing down what she had read.
Next time, I hope anyway, she wont need me to do it for her.
Social media takes independence away from these kids. We have to foster some independence in these kids.
Its funny, but kids today are as safe as they have ever been, but as parents we sure are scared of everything.
Talked to a friend of mine the other day. He has three kids pretty close to my kids ages. We talked about how we were just sorta left alone to figure shit out and play as we wanted.
Now that we have kids we dont let them do half the stuff we used to. My daughter still has not stayed over at a friends house. I did that all the time as a kid.
Her friend's parents wont submit to a full house inspection or a back ground check so the sleep over is a no go.
No wonder these kids today are drawn to social media like a moth to a porch zapper.
Solid Gold!!!
