newspapers and our kids

Have you noticed that every time you open up a news paper someone has something to say about kids today. How they are eating to much, not getting enough excercise, not eating enough,disipline issues.. the list goes on. What ever happened to just letting kids be kids. Let them have fun and do the things they enjoy doing. Let them decide if they want to do a million after school activities or just veg for an hour!

Kids are pushed by parents who listen to and do everything they read. The only really good advice on the issues you see in the paper is to do what feels right.

Dont get me wrong. I believe in our kids eating healthy,getting exercise,and being disiplined.They all need it. But why cant we give them a break once in a while?

There are all of these companies and doctors and such dishing out what we should be doing for our kids, how we should raise them. But arent we the ones that lives with our kids and know them best? Sure we all need advice and help. Thats ok. Nothing wrong with it. Ill be the first person to ask for it and offer help and advice if someone needs it. But there is no group clinic study that will fit our situation to a T. I hope you understand what I mean by all of this.

I just get tired of opening the newspaper just to see another study has been preformed!..

why cant they just give it a rest and talk about something that might actually intrest me. lol...

Thanks for listening.
