I’ve heard many people say, “I’m glad I grew up in the ‘60s when I could be outside all day.” The same people also say, “I’d never want to be a kid today with all the restrictions they have.”
But I sometimes wonder, if we are all born at the right moment. The world is constantly changing, so it’s understandable that the kids of today won’t experience life like we did. Their childhood will be as unique as ours, not worse than ours. I can imagine one day when my grandkids are my age, they might say, “ I’m glad I grew up in the 21first century when technology was at it’s best. I wouldn’t want to be a kid today,”
I think what it comes down to is how much you enjoyed your childhood. If you had a great childhood it doesn’t make any difference when or where you were born. Sure life is different now than it was when I was a kid, but I look at the smiles of my grandkids and think this is their time. I hope they remember it as the perfect time to grow up.”Just Saying. . .”
