I cringe every time I see a kid wearing a helmet while riding a bicycle or while playing in a playground.
These over protected kids don’t know what it’s like to feel the wind in their hair.
And face diapers for kids? How much mental and physical damage have those things caused?
I do too. A few scrapes and yes, even stitches are part of learning and stretching you abilities and boundaries.
By the time I was twelve I was confident to do things even some adults are afraid or unwilling to do. Driving tractors with equipment attached, riding my bike back and forth to a pool three miles away, hunting by myself etc.
I pity these kids who spend their childhood years in front of a computer playing “Minecraft”
Got a nephew who is one. Could be good at sports but he’s never tossed a ball. Now,his body is too soft and flabby and his mind too slow in reaction time. Future diabetic couch potato.
