What is something kids do/have today that was never a thing for you as a child?

It is wild to me, all of it. Our parents had little to do with us, really. They weren’t worried about our feelings or our mental health. They didn’t volunteer at our school or make our friends for us or tell us everything we did was great. There was no ADHD, suicide, self-harming, or food allergies. Nobody young suffered from migraines or chronic pain and it was a good thing because our parents never gave us over the counter meds. There weren’t seatbelts and helmets and safety pads and childseats, and I think those have been good improvements, but all the chemicals and screens have done more harm than imagined. While more quality interaction with ones children is good, I do think too much interference robs them of the chance to figure things out.
