      As someone born in 1976,
      I can confirm that..
      In my time, children
      were much more active
      compared to most Children today.
      Regardless of whether they played a sport or not.
      Nowadays, most children are only active when they participate in sports.
      Or quite coincidentally when they go to school by bicycle.
      That is also one of the reasons why most children today have poor motor skills.
      Or whatever it is called when children are physically poorly balanced.
      In my time there were many toys for children.
      But most of the time, most children had to use their own imaginations.
      Given what I know of childish behavior today.
      I am even more grateful that I was born in 1976.
      We didn't have much, but we were at least satisfied with what we did have.

They play outside with sticks and imaginations when their toys are boring them, get straight A's (or Bs for my son), stay out of trouble, and are the most polite kids around! They aren't perfect, nobody is, but doing it "old school" isn't bad either! All the best!

But still just imagining parenting is so scary! I don’t know where the future is heading and I’m scared of it, I don’t want to raise more humans there!!!

    Man, this video made me happy and depressed at the same time. I feel like the entire point was to poke fun at how overprotective parents have become in the last couple of decades. However, the capstone was a pitch for a digital leash that enables non-stop helicopter parenting.
    While I am all for child safety, there is a lot of value in *figuring things out for yourself*. I was born in 85' and am happy to have "survived" the 90's. Growing up in Arizona, you learned to let the hose water run out first to avoid burning your face off 😅

      Yep. Everybody swears we used to be in more danger but I think that we’re in a pretty dangerous time to parent kids actually. Arguably there have always been difficulties and maybe they do just change each decade, trading problems …but I don’t think the potential dangers of being out too late in the 90s compare to the moral and mental corruption going on today in all honesty. At least for now my child is very entertained by a pile of leaves and a few rocks.

      It's hard to quantify which decade is more dangerous or more fun. Two things are clear:
      1) We tend to forget more of the bad times than the good times from our childhoods (unless acutely traumatized) and therefore glorify the past.
      2) We are the survivors of those decades. Those less lucky aren't here to bear witness.

      Most of the kids at my work have issues because they say their parents let them do whatever and don't pay attention or listen to them. I think it's fine for parents to be attentive, so long as it's not a "let me do everything for you" or "you can do no wrong" kind of thing. Since every kid is different the right balance can sometimes be hard to do, but as long as the parent tries that's all that matters. I honestly can't stand inattentive parents or the overbearing kind since they can be pretty extreme in how they act and react.

    We had to fill up our own water balloons when I was a kid. If we couldn't figure it out we were told we were too young for water balloons. We weren't disappointed if we only got a few. It was much easier and cheaper to entertain 90's kids. Plus if I ever told my mom I was bored she would have a chore ready for me. I was never bored enough to do chores.

    If you are old like me, you remember when there were only three TV stations and cartoons we only on Saturday mornings. During the summers your mother would kick you out of the house first thing after breakfast, you came home for lunch and then back out until diner, then back outside until the street lights came on. If you told your mother you were bored and could not find anything to do, you would find yourself mowing the lawn or cleaning your room ; I was never bored. We built underground forts and treehouses. Played tackle football without protective equipment. Had BB gunfights (head shots were not allowed). Contest to see you could climb the highest in the elm trees. Went swimming at the local pool without parental supervision. We would have wheelie and ramp jumping contest on our bikes. We made our own skate boards out of 2x4's and metal skate wheels. I'am very surprised any of us survived. We were definitely abused children.

      Even better though, they make reusable water balloons now. My neighbor gave my daughter one of her kid's and it's a game changer. All you need is a bucket to drop it in while it's open and it closes automatically and instantly full of water. There is a magnetic strip that closes the two halves of the ball. She had so much fun with it.

    Let's not forget fun computer games like "Oregon Trail" ('96 edition), "Chip's Challenge", "Incredible Machine 2", and more. Plus Nintendo 64 and the Game Cube!
    While we now have a greater selection of videos, delicious healthy food options (I do like this option) and devices for helping make sure kids are safe, I liked the ability to have some freedom just playing with a friend and not having to worry about Mom or Dad looking over my shoulder all the time.
    I liked that kids knew stuff because they had to study and look it up.
    Not that I don't mind being able to go online and check something out like "What food helps with...?", but that when we had to look something up and took a little more effort on it, then we retain this information better.
    Also we weren't so confused about what was actual fact or not. We didn't have pronouns or crazy stuff I see now.
    And the Best part.... Everyone made an effort to get along regardless of the pigment of your skin color.

      And it was the best time! Because kids were allowed to make their own experiences and deal with problems by themselves. Learningfield for important skills for lateron in life.

    Railroad tracks so true! Back in the late 50's early 60's my brothers, friends and I would walk the tracks from our neighborhood to the Cleveland airport. Our parents never knew where we were just that we were all together so we would be fine. 😊

    I raised 3 kids through the 90's; this vid is pretty spot on.
