Possibly the tiny tot John John and 4 year old Caroline Kennedy are a good example of training, protocol and public exposure and behavior, at their father’s funeral certainly.
Jimmy Carter’s daughter was like 8 and well behaved, and even Chelsea, at 12, upon entering the White House was on hand, and well formed to behave in public.
Kids are made soft and the center of the universe in this era, where everyone gets a prize for existing, growing up to require safe spaces at the universities, trigger symptoms, coming from no demands, no formation, no structure and no social rules.
I respect your opinion but totally disagree on this one. Unless, there is a health reason, kids need to perform once in awhile, for the good of others, like their father on a very big day. My thesis is that there was a reason Barron was not included. What it was, I don’t know.
I agree. The grandkids, who are younger than Barron, were there and well behaved.
