Script:
Summer-glorious summer!
Time to dig in the sand, gulp from the hose, play at the park, and leap with joy! Unless you’re a kid-in which case, find yourself a comfy sofa in a dark, quiet room and settle in.
This is the season your parents are bombarded with the kind of warnings previously associated with incoming torpedoes.
The basic message: Don’t have fun-it’s too dangerous.
“Remember when digging in the sand at the beach was a fun activity for young children?” asks the website KidsTravelDoc. “Sorry. No more. Based on recent findings, only with lots of do’s and don’ts is frolicking in the sand a healthy activity.”
The blog’s author, Karl Neumann of the American Academy of Pediatrics, lays out his own don’ts: “Studies show that children playing in the sand are more likely to become ill than children merely walking on it. And the risk of illness increases with digging in the sand, being ‘buried’ in it, and digging in wet sand.”
Got it. Keep your kids on dry sand. No, wait-“Dry sand presents problems, too.” So, Dr. Neumann warns: “Discourage children from lying directly on the sand.”
While you’re at it, “Walking barefooted is another ‘don’t.’ Have children wear lightweight, ventilated, hard-soled footwear that covers the toes. This helps prevent stubbed toes, lacerations, puncture wounds, and burns from hot sand. Ideally, footwear should be worn for wading in the water.”
In fact, why take your kids to the beach at all? Better to keep them at home on a hard, nonporous surface, free of dirt and obstacles, checking frequently for venomous spiders, disease-bearing insects, and sewage. Children should also be in steel-toed work boots. Come to think of it, chain-mail wouldn’t be a bad idea.
But even that isn’t enough. Simply keeping the kids at home doesn’t ensure they’re safe either, especially if they make it into the backyard. Parents Magazine warns that “bees are attracted to flowers, so don’t put fragrances or floral-patterned clothing on kids.” Surely, you’ve seen swarms of bees chasing children in floral prints.
The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that if your moppets still insist on playing outside, the little daredevils at least should “limit sun exposure during peak intensity hours-between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.” That shouldn’t put a crimp in anyone’s day, should it?

I had two rules as a kid. Don't cross the highway at the end of the Street, and be home before dark. And I'm still here.

[@felspare1416]

Steve lucky you, unfortunately I wasn't allowed to murder and rape as a kid either

[@akariovo7505]

Steve You're so lucky. I had a lot of rules. Actually I still do. I'm pretty sure I'll be about 60 years old when my mom says I can finally curse in front of her.

[@bloodymary12100]

Steve...Same with me though I had had a few more rules such as don't curse in front of my parents unless I wanted to swallow my teeth my supper time menu I had 2 choices eat what I was given or go without leave the house dressed like that and you will be grounded for a month.

[@shrekisreal6566]

Lmao, my rules were the same, but I add, never speak to a stranger, look on every side when crossing an road and love your family. Now those rules start to disappear in western society, now parents say, accept lgbt, dont be racist or sexist, if your white, hate yourself

[@williambailey9343]

Becoming ill as a child is REALLY important to improving your immune system later in life where illness becomes harder to fight. Being exposed to minor illness as a child is really a benefit, and you can google 1000's of facts and scientific studies that show this.

[@vitormenezesdemattos967]

If you try to stop your kid from ever hurting or getting sick, he won't get sick and won't create antibodies and because of that, he Will grow getting Very sick often. Because didn't get sick back then and didn't develop antibodies. The same can be Said about the emotional part, If you protect your kid from every sort of emotional pain or frustration, putting him in a dome of a perfect marshmallow land where bad things Never happen... When he grows, every little bad thing that happens to him will feel like WW3 because no resilience, no "antibody" Was built. That's How snowflakes are born!

When I was a kid, my mother always told me to wear sunscreen during hot days. However, she never forced me to wear it. Once I got burned by the sun, I learned to always wear sunscreen. We need to let kids learn from their mistakes rather than shielding them from them. Experience is the best teacher; plus, kids will listen to you more once they understand that what you say is logical.

Sand is actually extremely clean and non toxic since it consists of pure silica. Unlike, dirt, sand has practically no pathogens or contaminants. The human body of an ordinary healthy child can adapt to hot sand and sunshine with callouses and tanning. Hose water has similar purity to faucet water, and comes from municipal water supplies.

[@vandertuber]

btw, "Don't swim alone" and "Don't get into cars with strangers" have genuine value. All these other nonsensical paranoid worries will so confuse a kid that the kid will forget the really important safety rules.

[@Novusod]

The most dangerous thing kids are regularly exposed to are Television, Computers, and Cell phones. Where did the Tide pod challenge come from? Online of course. Kids and technology don't mix. They see horrendous crap online and then act it out in real life. Elsa Gate anyone? Parents please don't let you kids have their own cell phone or tablet until they are older. Get your kids into sports or boy/girl scouts. Sedentary lifestyle causes obesity and a million other diseases.

[@neonfroot]

Novusod. I disagree with the "no kid should have technology" sentiment. What you fail to realize is that degeneracy exists in real world, not just online. Technology merely exposes the harsh realities of life that were hidden from books of centuries ago. Thats why the past seems so "innocent and glamourous" because people were more localized back then and had to rely on word of mouth. But people can lie/omit/exaggerate details. The kids of yesteryear did things that todays youth would merely fantasize about.

[@omegalashin]

Let me make your already low faith in humanity worse. My middle school doesn't let let us go outside for recess when the ground is wet or its raining. If you step in a puddle you get detention. The stupidest thing I've seen happen at my already 'helicopter-parent' like school was when we went on a mini-field trip down to our river to look at the bugs. We were the last class to go, and when we got there, they said "Because our environmentalists have found some GARDENER SNAKES in our river, we will not be going in due to safety concerns." The environmentalists faces as the teachers announced this said it all. If you didn't know, Gardener snakes do not bite people, and are unable to pierce skin because their fangs are too small. This is why they sell them at PET STORES. So basically they called the trip off because of some harmless, friendly pet snakes.

It's absolutely hilarious how paranoid society has become. When I was growing up we were out of the house first thing in the morning and didn't some back until dinner time. There were no cell phones, no obsessive checking in from parents, no overly protective monitoring of absolutely everything a kid was doing every single second of a day. I feel pity for kids growing up now in this paranoid atmosphere. And it's little wonder why the younger generations have no concept of what freedom actually is. They've been groomed from birth to think it's perfectly normal for someone to dictate to them exactly what they're going to do every second of every day.

I feel that my generation is the last generation that is "The Good Old Days" my good old days were spent outside playing in the grassy fields, climbing trees, having a cook out every month and it really made me happy, because i was right where i wanted to be and everything made me over joyed. I'm 14, many of you will say I am still in my good old days but I am one of the most responsible teens you will ever see, I don't get into fights, I don't annoyingly blabber on to a person when they don't want to hear it. I still do love being outside, but my younger sister and anyone else who is younger has stopped going to parks in my town, when ever I go out I see parents at a restaurant booth and all the kids are on phones or tablets. The good old days is almost a thing of the past and I am basically the last generation that will be in it sadly. and its because of this, the thing you are reading this from right now, your phone/tablet or computer, technology has taken over most of everything, when I have kids i'm gonna let them go on this stuff, but not as much as people do these days, maybe two hours a day or three hours a day. thats what i had and i still grew up happy.

My childhood was far from perfect, yet it was actually overcoming mishaps which taught me 3 important things about life: How to be anti-fragile- the tough times build inner strength, how to creatively problem solve - experimenting with the outdoors and tools yields understanding how to construct things, and laws of nature, and most importantly - how to have fun, for fun's sake - I often channel this in my adult life, to not stress in high-pressure situations or worry obsessively about outcomes. Gamifying life can make it pleasurable, and internalize that even tough times have an optimal method for strategically moving ahead without an overbearing intensity. Lauging with life changes everything.

Once my kids are adults, I'll explain to them the dangers of the world when their minds can comprehend it, and We'll stay in there the rest of our lives... just to be safe ya know.

Jesus Christ died for your sins on a cross and rose again after three days. You have committed evil deeds, as we all have done. God is a just judge, and must punish you for these sins, because he is perfect by his nature. But God loves you, does not want to punish you. This is why God took the form of a man, Jesus Christ, and died as a sacrifice for your sins on a cross. He was punished for your sins, so that you could be made righteous in God's sight. After three days, Jesus rose again, because it is impossible for him to have been held down by death. This is great news! Repent, (that is, change your mind,) and believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and be saved from the judgement of God. God will reward you for your faith with eternal life, and forgiveness for your deeds. I sin, and you sin, and we both will continue to sin, but Jesus Christ died for these sins, and God is willing to forgive them. Please, repent, and believe the Gospel.

No shame in that everybody gets lost in the woods at some point in time. I learned a long time ago, that you never walk off the road without a compass.

[@erikm5221]

I mean, yeah birth order does definitely affect how strict parents are, but there's a difference between a few twigs and a huge stick. The twigs would snap or just poke the eye (not saying that doesn't hurt, just that it wouldn't be permanent damage), while a large stick would probably turn your eye into mush.

Allergies have very little correlation with a strengthened immune system, so in that you are correct Villhelm47. When it comes to a persons predisposition to getting sick, it does though. (granted, a persons genes and biology also play key roles) If someone avoids germs at all costs, while another just doesn't care, the person who is constantly exposed to germs will generally get sick far less than the person who tries to avoid them.

My parent’s rules at the beach were simple and I find that it’s cool that they always had reasonable explanations in order to teach us why and help us figure things out in life. At one of the beaches we went the higher up areas with what was essentially permanently dry sand would be hot in the afternoon, so we could run around and do whatever, but if we were going up there to go to the car or bathrooms, just slip on your flip flops first. When in the ocean stay near the land, not because of some stupid unreasonable fear or because “I said so” but because the tide can and will pull on you, if you don’t notice it because you’re not carefully remaining near the beach you can be swept out and that’s how you drown before anyone can get to you when you’re 7. Also don’t drink the salt water if you’re thirsty, since it’s quite salty it actually doesn’t help at all. Other than that we didn’t really have specific yet overarching rules for every little thing, and most was just run with some common sense and morals. The biggest problem with this oversaturation of fears isn’t that they make rules for their kids, it’s that the rules are convoluted and limit the entire ability to be in nature or the real world at all. There’s a difference between wearing a life vest while boating or a helmet while biking, and not being allowed on the boat because it’s not perfect and might sink, not being allowed to bike because a helmet, knee pads, gloves, leather protection, none of it’s enough and that guy on the corner who’s a totally normal man scares your mom who thinks he’s a pedo. One of these two rules, and its reasons, makes sense. The other one doesn’t.

This is one of the more funnier videos from Prager U. The funniest thing about these doctors and pediatricians is that some of them are probably not even parents! Kids need to have accidents and get sick. It’s a function of life and evolution. Obviously, they shouldn’t be playing with guns or knives, swimming alone, or doing drugs, but some of the advice given, triggers helicopter parenting, which then leads to the present day millennials who expect everything to be handed to them. I’m not a Father, but I did want to be one in my 20s. When I hit 30, things changed for me.

That’s all part of growing up.

The moral of the story is, we're all gonna die at some point, so you should just live and stop worrying about everything you do. Worrying about every minor action is just a waste of life. Be cautious when caution is warranted, but don't let it control your life.
