I took my boys to Cub Scout Camp a couple of weeks ago. My youngest boy, the six year old, made a kite and went running to get it in the air, and the lady standing next to me actually yelled out, "Don't run!" I looked at he like she was crazy. He's six years old. He's supposed to run. And if he falls and scratches himself, he will get up, brush himself off and run some more. What are we as adults doing to our children today? And we wonder why ADHD is so prevelant. It's the same on the school Playground. If a kid runs, the teacher yells, "Stop running." And I know why they do it, it's because of lawyers and pathetic parents. If a child runs on the playground, falls and breaks a bone, the stupid parents will sue the school. And then, there's no running for anyuone on the playground anymore. We're trying to raise a society by the lowest common denominator. It needs to stop. We need to kill all the lawyers. Just kidding. But, seriously, it's gotten too easy to sue for anything these days. Let the children run. If they fall and get scratched or cut or bruised or bumped, let them get up, brush themselves off and run some more.We don't need to sue the school because our children are being children. You can't sue the school because your child is clumsy. Accept it and get on with your life.
