If they would stop giving junior so many "legal" drugs for everything from temper tantrums to being moody, maybe the kids could think on their own. Instead Mom and Dad, and the schools drug the kids up, which makes thinking clearly much harder, and wonder why they can't think on their own. Mom and Dad arrange "play dates", drive them to every sporting event, plan their college schedules, and tell them what jobs to take. My God don't any of these parents understand letting kids be kids, and letting go...when they are 18 or 19.
How about letting little kids just "play" outside, without having someone "plan the event", kids don't run and play anymore, they don't do anything on their own. No wonder creativity has gone down the tubes.
