Older generation Vs. today's generation?

Question

What is is that makes kids nowadays so much different from children in the past. Things that our grandparents and great-grandparents would never have dreamed of doing are a casual occurance now.

When i decide to have children, what are some things that i can do that will help me raise them better??

What are some good parenting techniques that will help me teach my kids right from wrong, and give them real values that stick with them??

I'm very afraid of raising children in today's world.

P.S.

for a good laugh, check out this youtube video

Answer 1

Kids today:

More smarter, like they can text to make things shorter for fast typing, also people who are typists in the courts do the same!!

They are more tech, older ones have to learn and it can take forever oddly.

Kids today have more of a voice and know whats going on.

More trendy and have style.

They will be the ones to advance the country

Ect.

Kids of yesterday

Had it better, more morals

Life was more easy going such as leaving the door unlock at night.

They were the ones who made the basics of style.

But I will admit I rather would have a child (if I had one) in the past still.

Answer 2

First, all the technology is wonderful, if we use it to our betterment and that of others (like making my uni work so much easier).

Otherwise:

Do your best to have them grow to love family, home and country. To value decency and honour (to have integrity and be honest). A does of spiritual understanding is good even if they wind not really believing in much.

But most importantly to love people and to fight for the weak among us--elderly, young, animals, and all who can not defend themselves.

I think you will be a wickedly wonderful mum. Oh yes, loved the video!
