All Work and NO Play: Why Your Kids Are More Anxious, Depressed.

    In the article “All Work and No Play”, by Ester Entin, they talk about how times have changes from back in the day and how they are now. It talks about how children today is depress because of the lack of effort the put in creating a childhood memory.

    There is a very big change in the way children play now and then. Now a days playing is playing with guns and things of that sort. Back then it was doll babies, toy trucks, hide and go seek, and peek a boo. In the article it states “What are your childhood memories of playing as a child? Some of us will remember hide and seek, house, tag, and red rover red rover.”

I honestly think our generation of young children today wouldn’t have much childhood memories to cherish because they are none. Our generation doesn’t know how to do anything with causing trouble. The older kids do things having the younger kids thinking it okay to do. I have great memories from my childhood. I can go on and on about them. I just want the other generations to have a fair chance of having good childhood memories the way I did.

    My little cousins aren’t growing up the same way I grew up, they run around anxious wanting to fit in the generation cursing, using god’s name in vain. It’s clearly not how I grew up. I try to encourage them to stay kids as long as possible the more you grow up the more responsibilities you have. I want them to be able to have good memories to cherish.

This article helps me get a better look at how things use to be and how things should be. It helps me understand how kids today are more anxious and depress.

    Do you think this generation deserve better? Do you think children of 21^st century wants childhood memories to cherish too? How is all this drama affecting our generation?
