 You know all the various crises that are happening right now. We won't mention it, but the past three months We've seen a tremendous number of various crises economic societal Medical, etc. We just won't mention mention them. But one thing that is more Troublesome than all of them combined is the parental crisis This is the nj. We're 22.com here a little Little opinion piece about the the crisis and we think there's a big deal crisis going on and that's For parents in this country, especially people with children under, you know, eight years old or even less and There's a lot of the crazy stuff happening in the world And I think in general a lot of people I talk to the same people know what's going on They kind of just don't get involved and can manage quite fine But I'm not necessarily saying there's too many sane people in the world, but What what is forgotten is the unintended victims of what's happening in the world today, and that's the kids Kids when they're, you know, under 10 years old or even younger have are very impressionable like a lot of their future Personality and mindset comes from when they're when they're really young and they they can see what parents do They can see what the rest of the world does and they can see what the parents show them in this world and This is you know, they're very impressionable and it really comes it becomes very difficult for a parent I personally don't want the kids to have to go through these societal motions that everybody's kind of doing for the sake of Participating if you know what I mean like if you want to go to the supermarket You have to wear a certain costume to get in and I see kids going in with these costumes on and I'm not too happy I don't think that a child should be put through that type of thing Luckily, we don't have TV in our house and our children don't see any of this. Thank God But I guess I had a big dilemma the other day and it was regarding some sort of summer camp for our kids and Whether I am I was adamant that I don't want to send my children to a weird summer camp where they have to you know stand a certain number of feet apart and wear costumes to Enjoy that's just not the way children interact and it shouldn't be forced on them and I Thought it might be best that with that with the hope that That this whole thing just goes away and we can go back to the real normal not the stupid new normal that everybody talks about And I was thinking maybe I should deprive The kids in that respect and and in my heart I didn't feel it was deprivation at all I felt it was protection from from seeing this nonsense going on but on the other hand should parent let the kids experience these things and You know all these rules based on unsound and Conflicting science and it's fear basically and I don't like it. I mean it's Maybe the kids can get over it if it goes back to a new I mean the old normal But I just I don't know how many other people feel that I think Letting a child experience something that you know all kids do at the certain age whether it's a camp or or whatever sporting event Maybe it's worth it not to to let them do and just delay it and a delay of a couple years is better than permanent mental damage On a child to have to witness this type of stuff I just want you know, I do my best to tell my children to think critically and And I tell them that I don't I don't believe in any of this stuff. It's necessary and to challenge authority, especially if it's a if it's some sort of a political body And and to think you know critically critically don't just assume say well, how do you know it's right? Can I see the proof? Well, how do you know this is right? Why are there three different opinions about her? How come they keep changing their their answer every week or two or day or two, you know You know phases go from three phases to ten phases to from two to eight weeks to 12 to 13 I mean, I don't know. This is all political and I don't like it. I don't want to involve my kids. So that's it Be blunt with your kids. Be honest. Don't don't Tell them that's just the way it is to have them challenge it and You got to be blunt to the kids But in general there has to be a better way and I'm working really hard on figuring it out You like this video and I hit the bell and the subscribe and I'll talk to you soon
