helpless kids? February 26, 2012
Tags: Gen Y, iGen, kids, Mickey Goodman, Tim Elmore
Mickey Goodman has written a blog to argue Tim Elmore’s point that kids born 1984 to 2002 are helpless because they have unreasonable expectations of personal reward to their effort. They think they’re special, whether they do anything worthy or not.
Check out “Are we raising a generation of helpless kids?” What do you think of the issues raised in this article? If you were born between 1984 and 2002, what do you expect from life? What are you doing to achieve your goals?
