I am not sure, but maybe we don’t keep today’s kids busy enough. They have too much time to think about the crap they hear on TV and in the classroom. The way the media and education focus so much on the dysfunctional aspects of humanity, kids may think they are expected to have some disease, syndrome, or disorder. Plus, being sick is a great way to gain attention and sympathy. If survival were more of a challenge, many of the kids would learn the value of work and excel. Maybe the Amish, and I mean the real Amish, have something figured out.
No doubt!
