Don't blame it on the sunshine, moonlight, government, blame it on the bingo!

a Primark shoebox in Leicester

Two women in the supermarket with their kids screaming, spitting at eachother, fighting and pretty much as out of control as they could be..... the women laughing about who spent the most hours playing bingo online

One woman couldn't manage a whole conversation with the other, not without texting someone or checking facebook.

What feckin' hope do those kids have

That really is one of my pet hates. Parents that let their children run riot around shops and not giving a toss. They are to busy chatting to another friend or as you say on their phone.

P.s was actually listening to that song dont blame it on the sunshine. (spooky)

For all the joys of the internet... it also has a lot to answer for.

Quite possibly a future generation of socially inept children that the teachers will get the blame for not being able to educate them.

You see Jezza and his demographic and all the references to facebook and on line interaction and you cant help but feel some children are suffering neglect due to the internet. I am convinced there are many thousands of stay at home parents who don't interact with their children apart from plonking then in front of the tv so they can log on and spent all day on line rather than take time to teach, play and interact with their children.

That's the problem with young kids these days. Give them a computer or hand held game and they're brilliant, but ask them to play with normal toys and they haven't got a clue. That also includes interacting with other children, they usually don't know how to other than fighting which is what they see on the telly. Very sad May I say it's not all children but a big percentage.

The problem is that there is Now a generation of socially inept parents, however small, who are the foundation stone of the next generation's development...

These are the people who need help and education, just as much as future generations, because they cannot see any disadvantages in their actions...

I totally agree

Its not just the internet, its mobile phones, media reporting, television etc.

I remember, as a child (I know, back with the dinosaurs) going shopping on a Saturday with my parents (as all children of the 70's did).

To the market, to the Co-op, the fish market, toy shop if we were lucky and home to wait for the Alpine lorry.

Myself and my brother would never have misbehaved. We wouldn't have got our pocket money, comic or been able to watch Doctor Who because we would have been in our rooms, grounded.

We had no mobile phones, no computers, we played outside, in the park, we came home wen we were hungry. We went to youth clubs and didn't play truant.

I say.....lets go back to the 70's when policement/teachers etc had respect because they could punish us. Go back to pre-internet and mobile phone days and let the children play. There is very little wrong with the children of the 70's......

**Sorry, blithering, nostalgia is a dangerous thing at the moment in my house **

p.s. Can we blow Jeremy Kyle up?

But kids these days say, "there's nothing to do, we're bored!" if there is no Mobile phone, PC or Game screen to view!!

When do today's kids ever build a den, climb trees etc etc? They are forever mollycoddled into staying safe, don't get dirty and so on. Then the parents say, there's nothing for them to do, and expect councils to fund expensive youth clubs, activities etc because some parents have no gumption at all in looking after their kids.

I don't believe all technology is bad. Its all down to the parents moderation of it being used.

I blame the parents.

More parent-craft classes should be taught to kids before they start having kids themselves, for the most part they don't learn this at home which is saddening.

I'm fortunate in that my kiddo has the park the beach and the fields to explore with his friends or his dog, he has the old fashioned along with the hi-tech and I'm thankful for that.

There's something to be said for living in a small village .

I think the give give give attitude towards kids is partly to blame. We give them all they want when really we should be setting boundaries and taking from them.

Take their time, take their gadgets and electronic sitters away from them, take away the mini-me attitude and make them see they are not adults but children. They are not our equals but grown-up's in the making. Very often parents expect their kids to be grown-up and adult about things but really they don't give kids a chance to be just that .... kids.

True...

Especially when part of this generation of parents has not been allowed to be kids in their time...;-)

Mostly it's the parents who need a good smack, the unruly kids just need put in their place and know right from wrong from an early age. I never once smacked any of my kids, but then I needed to

All to do with parental guidance

not far from iceland,,,,,, tescos is nearer though :-) (near leeds)

I didn't have any parent craft classes, I took my lessons from the values my parents had instilled in me and the way my parents had raised me...

You can't blame the technology there have always been technological advances, , .. I'm unsure when things changed in the parent skills department, .. both parents going to work..maybe, breakdown of families possibly .. I'm thinking back to my childhood there were some troublesome kids then as well....

I just bet on three horses called Sunshine, Moonlight and Good Times, and none of them won.

I blame it on the bookie.

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

There have always been some unruly children but the social norms of what you could and couldn't do in public were very different. Adults casually swear walking down the street, whilst shopping and even in restaurants. Many children start nursery and reception class unable to string a sentence together let along recognise the alphabet. All the research, and all the children, I have seen support that the most basic thing of just speaking and engaging with young children makes them thrive.

We no longer universally parent. It is not 'done' to tell a child off for sitting with their feet up on the bus seat etc. for fear of what they might say and the backlash from their parents. I still do though, because someone has to.

I am very blessed to be surrounded by a wonderful group of children and young people that know how to behave in public, say please and thank you, run around, spend hours building things out of Lego AND playing on their new fangled technology. They push the boundaries and can be cheeky, they are acqusitive but they also know when no means no. They have a very real sense of what things cost and that working for something makes to getting of it even better.

Rant over.

What doesn't help is that so many 'Little Johnnies' or 'Little Janies' see their mothers spending half their waking hours themselves on Facebook, Twitter etc.

So many modern Mums leave their toddlers to their own devices while they type away on their Smart phones or laptops....whatever happened to spending the day with your child giving them love and care?

When I saw the Daily Mail's "Block Online Pornography" campaign I was appalled, I had no idea that any child with a computer could see this filth.

I didn't even know the Daily Mail had a website.

The amount of mums i know that seem to be quite happy dumping the kids in front of CBeebies or similar is untrue. I'm not really sure why they feel the need, apart from either not having the parenting skills or being just too lazy and taking the easy option, if they take the last choice then they will only have themselves to blame when the child(ren) grow up with poor communication skills.

Young adults (I know the adult bit is debatable)have choices.

They can be selfish and use the internet to entertain themselves for hours on end throughout the day, whether that's playing bingo, following celebs on twitter or sitting on cam in a chatroom showing off their cleavage to the wank happy.

Or they could use the internet in moderation........ with some of the time spent to look up hints and tips on how to educate their sprogs through interaction.

With most things you get out what you put in and its not much different with children. I always wonder why some parents complain about tier children's behaviour when all they have done is put them in front of the TV for years and let that teach them.
