It's not much of a secret that parenting in 2020 is much different than it was for those of us who were born last millennium. Things that were acceptable back in those times would be heavily frowned upon, and in many cases, would even be illegal in this day and time. So what effect does that have on the current generation?
In the most recent episode of the Simple Dad Podcast, hosts Quincy Forte and Remon discuss the idea of children being seen and not heard. In our time growing up, children stayed in a child's place. Children couldn't speak when adults were talking and children definitely wasn't allow to participate in adult conversations. Children weren't allowed to make up their own minds, they were told what to do and any attempt to question the reasoning behind what were being told to do would probably be met with a quick, "Because I said so." Children were not seen as little humans with minds of their own that have something valuable to contribute to a conversation. Things have changed, drastically.

Parents are essentially allowing children to raise themselves and forge their own paths in this world.
