![]() Treating social media as a vice doesn't have to mean full ban until they're adults. That way, once they do have free access, the novelty is not so great and hopefully they'll be able to behave more responsibly. I'm personally planning on letting my children consume small amounts of alcohol while they are under our supervision to give them experience. In the US, I do think that straight prohibition-style banning of all alcohol from children is also not a good idea largely due to the example you've given where once children become adults and have free access to alcohol, their lack of experience with the substance can cause issues. I agree that alcohol would be a better parallel here and I was simply using the parent comment's example.Īlcohol is considered a vice and we not only have laws which prohibit children from its consumption, at least in the US, it's culturally accepted that it's generally not appropriate for children to be drinking. Maybe even talk a bit about guanxi, and how people that freak them out now, will change a lot. Just do all you can to get ahead of the idea that they are in a concrete hierarchy, because make no mistake, they are in a hierarchy. ![]() Treat it all like it was your career and you were angling for a promotion or to not be fired, but are pulling your hair out from stress and imposter syndrome. ![]() Do they view social butterflies that go between cliques as inauthentic? What happens when they see the odd-ones-out get made fun of? Careful there especially, but that is kind of the crux of it all. try to get a sense of where they have gravitated and where they have animus. Have they even been in a distinctly expensive house, or a poor household? Ask if they know anyone on sports teams, or anyone in the art department, those who were homeschooled, are highly religious, etc. If they dont have all the expensive jackets and shoes, unpack how that affects their interactions. Get a sense of how hierarchical their view of their peers is - and, if they are open enough, how they think about themselves in that picture. Interestingly, I'm also struck at how unclear it might be as to which is the worst of these two "generational original sins".ĭespite all the health effects, maybe no one lost the ability to think deeply or critically assess propaganda or fall into a cult or become obsessed with their appearance or spent thousands of dollars to throw perfectly functioning pocket computers in the bin for slightly bigger ones from smoking?Ī funny image comes to mind of senile Millennials refusing to give up their social media smartphones despite their carers' best efforts, wildly declaring that they've been scrolling timelines since before the carers were born and have been fine. Maybe the best first step for parents would be to quit social media / smartphones themselves and get more active in creating alternative ways of being (however easier said than done that is)? It might also lead to some uncomfortable reflections on the world us Millennials are passing on. For parents now who have similar stories, it might be a helpful perspective to have on how these things tend to happen and what's required to actually address any problems. Let’s talk about the last year profit as this platform generated $20 billion in ad revenue.If there's something to this analogy, I feel like it'd be worth being more commonly known.įor me, as a Millennial/Xennial, I sure as hell criticised the elders close to me for their smoking and their taking up the habit in their youth.
