Really what is wrong with the newest generation.

[DandyDon]

I read this book to my son the other night it talks about the child and parent aging and continuing to love one another. My son was traumatized by the idea of himself and I aging. He was terrified of death and we spent the next hour trying to calm him.

I remember when my parents read it to me, tears came down but in an understanding way.

Then this morning on the way to daycare it was raining, I started to sing "It's raining it's pouring the old man is snoring. He bumped his head when he went to bed and couldn't wake up in the morning." After I sang it I realized how morbid that song actually was to my insecure child.

Boy I have tons to teach my son.

Anyone experienced anything similar to this?.

Death is our goal and life is the path we walk to meet it.

Very comforting, papa. :NoNoNo:

Maybe DandyDon should get that slogan printed on a T-shirt for junior.

No doubt it would be a big hit at the daycare.

Love Robert Munsch stories!

A lot of children's tales and nursery rhymes are pretty dark and violent.

I think more explanations and your own descriptions should help your child grasp and understand better.

Too many bad video games.

We survived these weird lullabies and turned out okay. This new generation is just completely wussified. They are protected from everything....antibacterial soap, no scores in sporting events, no child left behind, etc. Kids are so shielded from failure and the realities of life that they grow up to be liberal assholes who think that equality means "equal outcomes" and that nobody has to work for what they have. They think that their shit doesn't stink because nobody ever just told them to "shut their pieholes!". Everyone out there today is about me, me, me while at the same time telling everyone else how they should live their lives. Bitchy, whiny kids....I can't stand them.

Absolutely! If you take a look at English versions of these you would never think to teach them to a child once you examine what is being said. Although not substantiated "Ring Around the Rosy" was thought by many to talk about the plague the circulated through Europe in the 17th century.
