I was at a business breakfast meeting last week and the keynote speaker was, as usual, extremely inspirational. One thing he said (or more correctly said and attributed to a prominent Politician) hit home and persuaded me to think a little more seriously about it. He said:"The problem with society today is that we treat children like adults [pause for effect] and adults like children."
Now I don't wish to sound too pompous (or old) but I do believe the result of years of social miscalculation has led to a number of common concerns; everything from the impatience and associated aggression in young children (who seem to grow up far too quickly) to the pampered excesses of the 'Nanny State'.
What do you think?
