Well.... not for a discussion fit for the parenting board
Anyway, I think that part of the reason that kids aren't turning out the same as maybe earlier generations have is because there are less and less families where one parent stays at home and raises the child(ren). They don't get one on one attention really ever, and when the parents ARE home, even though you'd think they'd spend time with their kids that they miss out on all day, they're too busy wanting to 'relax', so the kids get to watch tv, and hey, video games entertain them, right?
I try really hard to make sure that my son gets his mommy time every day and that his toys are educational. Even at 6 months, he LOVES tv, so I make sure that when he does get to see it, it's something like Baby Einstein. I want him to be a kid who plays outside, not who has blisters on his thumbs from playing too much Street Fighter.
