Kids are awesome. Kids want nothing more than to have fun, explore, play, and learn about the world. That's my experience as a kindergarten teacher.

 

 

hogwash.  w/o constant parental supervision and correction, your kindergarten is  lord o' the flies meets hieronymus bosch painting by the second missed nap time. is a Fact that kids brain develop in stages, albeit some reach stages quicker than others. little kids is not all sunshine and smiles.  got it reversed. adults tend to project goodness onto children, and they do indeed have the potential for goodness, but particular for little crumb snatchers, even the capacity for ethical decision making doesn't develop until teens and even tweenties.

 

we will agree many parents don't know how to parent, but a large part o' that is 'cause the current generation o' parents were themselves raised so fundamental different.  kids ain't born with parenting skills, and the last couple generations has been learning increasing less 'bout parenting for reasons we already identified.  tv and internet is increasing raising kids more than is working moms and absentee dads. 

 

HA! Good Fun!

 

ps edit:  were unfair o' us to claim "most" parents don't know how to parent.  were indulging in the kinda hyperbole we frequent chastise others.  corrected. 

 

? It goes without saying that kids can be hellraisers if the grownups don't do their job. The toddlers need their sleep, structure, lots of love, and limits on their behaviour... My point was that kids are awesome if you give them the chance to be, by being a responsible adult.
