RE: Are We Overprotecting Gen Alpha as Well? An Examination of the New "Interest Badges"

Today's kids get a lot of flack, but most probably are okay. Mine are in their 20s now, but they turned out fine. I did just read today that a lot of kids don't play outside. Mine didn't have all the online stuff at an early age and so didn't get too hooked then. That stuff is really compelling. I think things like Scouts and Guides can offer more experiences, but it needs to be challenging. There was all the fuss about not having winners and losers in school sports, but that is preparation for life. You won't win at everything, but you can still have value. It's about balance.
