It's pretty common these days to see kids depicted as disrespectful in children's books, movies, and TV shows. It’s the new normal. It's as if the golden age of manners and speaking kindly to parents is ancient history. Now that I'm in the parenting game, I see it everywhere.
I totally agree that children’s books and tv shows/movies are missing out on a great opportunity to teach kids valuable lessons, such as respect! Please share any good books/movies/tv shows you come across that help promote good values and morals!
PS. Get in line for that pink sapphire ring, I already called dibs!!
You know, I’ve never thought about the depiction of kids in books, but intuitively have felt something “off” in some of the newer ones we’ve been reading recently. You hit the nail on the head! Even stuff like depicting vegetables as “gross!” does the same thing. Weird, huh?
(That being said, I had absolutely no media curation growing up and I think I turned out okay...)
Getaway suggestion is awesome! Love the folks over there, who I’ve gotten to know a little bit. Awesome company with an awesome mission!
I know your mom, and if you turn into her, you'll be OK!!
This made me chuckle!
