I refer to kids in general. Just as you and I are not smart enough to know ourselves, our minds and our bodies very well, in the same way, we aren't smart enough to fully see our kids, where they are, and where they are headed very well. You may be aware that a strong tradition, going back almost 2000 years, is to bemoan the condition of the world and of the younger generations. I am here to say,"Cool it. Try not to worry. Their minds are quite sharp, their eyes are open and they have strong dreams for the future."
My oldest greatgranddaughter is a good example. She is a smart girl and getting smarter. A little while back, she created homemade cards for us: birthday, Mother's Day, that sort of thing. She knows that many cards these days come with a barcode on the back. So, she created barcodes on her cards. Started as sort of a joke but as thoughts do, they led her forward. Now, she is crafting small objects like earrings. Earrings should be delivered in some sort of protective container. So, she created this tube to hold the earrings for her great grandmother. When you were entering the 6th grade, were you in business yet? She will be ready to make you an offer for your business soon.
