Why do most adults around social media think that you are allergic to wisdom until youre 18? (lemmy.wtf)

100 comments fedilink hide all child comments

most happy and healthy kids have a unique desire to learn and trying to suppress that is unhealthy

things like screen time, finish your plate, etc

screen time is just a limit on time to learn if the kid is using it for the right purposes which you should teach them to

"finish your plate" I was never told that as a kid and I devour anything that is given to me

Do you not eat fish?

Are you currently plugged into the matrix? Or are you living bag of water taking in oxygen and emitting CO2 like the rest of us? Are you seriously trying to downplay the value of IRL experience in favor of a terminally online life? If so you're proving why the adults in you're own question are right.

the generations before "the kids" built eight game highways and supermarkets and malls that dont "allow loitering" everywhere

kids simply have nowhere to go

you are just not allowed outside if youre not shopping anymore

tell that to my kid, oh wait, hes out riding his bike with friends right now..

I get what you mean, youre right about the errosion of the "third space"

but youre responding to too many comments or something, because Im responding to where you said talking to stangers will get you stabbed.
