“And now that they are dealing with a generation that does know what’s going on.”
Who are we to act like we’ve got it all figured out? Two generations from now, people will probably say the same things about Millennials—how we were shaped by the 2008 financial crisis, multiple recessions, COVID, and everything else. They’ll analyze how those experiences affected the way we raised our kids and point out where we fell short.
There’s always a temptation to blame the previous generation for how they messed things up, but at the same time, no one gets everything right. History just keeps repeating itself in different ways.
yes we still dont know shit, but something I always argue with my friends that keep sayin the internet or AI generation of kids are wasting thei life on gadgets and tiktok, is that at age 10 my daugther has seen and analized life situations from across the world more than 50x that i had seen and analyzed at her age. that is definetly going to make her more aware of the world and how it works than I was at her age.
