The reality is our parks and playgrounds have never been as safe as they are now - not to mention our youth groups, scouts, guides, schools and mainstream TV. We are so preoccupied with keeping our children safe from stranger danger which only ever affected a tiny minority of children that we forget the far bigger danger is, and always has been, family and friends.

He said if mum hears u saying that u b in trouble for being rude! So I didn't tell her! Stuff was hushed up back then! X | |||

"common sense appreciation that things have to be paid for by someone who has to earn the money ability to chat and disagree face to face without tantrums tolerance of things they dislike First they need parents and grandparents to teach them those things!" Absolutely right, but peer pressure can undo good traits and reduce many to the lowest common denominator. We thought we brought our kids up as good as we could, using common sense, manners and encouraging two way respect. We think we did OK but our sons seemed to resent some aspects of their childhood and it was only when they became parents themselves that they began to realise what was involved and how treading a tightrope meant a few dodgy moments. Our grandchildren too are polite and confident but subject to those evolved peer pressures meaning they are smart phone obsessed and do not communicate so well face to face. We worry for their future. | |||

"Thicker skin - too many snowflakes and woke kids. You can’t say anything in front of them but they’re offended!" I'd argue being "woke" requires thicker skin than you realise. I look back at my old self and wish I'd had the confidence to speak out at things I found awful at the time, but went along with purely out of fear. At least kids today aren't afraid to challenge the attitudes of old and speak up in a way I couldn't x | |||
