A Scouts Canada survey found that most Canadians are concerned that children aged 10 to 21 are too soft and have not been taught appropriate coping skills to navigate their future.
The survey, which included 1,000 Canadians, uncovered that social media channels, screens and lack of development, social/peer pressure, video games and helicopter parenting are the biggest dangers to kids today.
Just over a third of those surveyed are not confident that the kids aged 10 to 21 will be able to get jobs in the future and grow into successful adults.
When it comes to different generations, almost 75 per cent of those surveyed said parents in Gen X (mid-1960s to roughly 1980), Millennial (early 1980s to mid 1990s) and Generation Z (mid 1990s to around 2010) have been “too soft” on their children.https://globalnews.ca/news/10915205/canadians-children-too-soft-no-coping-skills-survey/
