The Children Before and Now Blog #186 March 14, 2022 ***Note***: ***What I will share today is only based on what I have observed in our community.*** Looking back at how my childhood years, I realize that as the years pass by many changes happen. Not only with the way of living that most of us have but also with how kids become nowadays.
**Before,** we used to play outdoor games such as chasing one another, playing in a playhouse together with our siblings and neighbors, playing rubber bands and climbing trees like guava, etc. During those times, we enjoyed every moment that we have. There may be times that we quarreled each other but we didn't hurt each other physically. **Now**, as I see in the community I am in, kids like to play computer games and even stay in the computer shop for how many hours. They don't care if they can eat or not as long as they enjoyed playing those online games. Sometimes when they fought, they are hurting each other physically, and not only that they threw bad words at each other. I was shocked to hear them saying those words because I am not used to hearing those words. My kids didn't speak those words as well. **Before,** kids are more respectful. When we meet other people along the way, we would greet them. Whenever we came to other houses, we didn't enter immediately. We would wait for the owner's permission before we would go inside. Whenever our parents or other relatives stared at us because we made mistakes or we are starting to misbehave, we would immediately behave because we are afraid that they will scold us and might spank us for our misbehavior. **Now**, it's very rare to see kids being respectful to others. Sometimes i would hear them just calling names of those adults as if they are calling someone who has the same age as theirs. And there were times that when we would tell them not to bully other kids, they will just laugh as if they don't hear anything. And when someone scolds them, they won't listen, and much worse they talk back to their elders. These are just a few situations that I observe with the kids around. It saddened me to see that other kids are not properly guided by their parents and sometimes even if parents knew what their kids had been doing, they just tolerate it and don't discipline them. That's why I just let my kids be in our house nowadays. I don't want them to go outside because many times they are bullied before and even if I told the parents about their child's behavior they will just ignore it and sometimes they would accuse my kids of being the naughty ones. Since I know that they would just tolerate the kids of their wrongdoings so I will just let my kids stay at home most of the time to avoid some bad happenings. Based on these observations, one reason why other kids have this kind of attitude is because of a lack of parents' guidance. I always see those kids around just hanging out with their friends who also became a bad influence on them. Even at noontime and the evening, they are still on the road together with those friends of theirs because their parents are too busy with their work and others parents are just at home and they just let their kids roam around to avoid having hard-headed ones at home. This was what one of the parents told me on why they just let their kids roam around freely. It saddened me to think about those but I can't do anything. What I need to do is never let it happen to my kids. Thank you so much to my dear sponsors who stays with me up to this moment. Thanks for your support and trust. I prayed and hope that God will bless you more. To those who take time to read my articles, leave an upvote, comments, and likes on my published articles, a million thanks to all of you.

I also used to play outdoor games. But now....
*I used to play outdoor games too and i also encourage my kids to play outdoor games. It's so much fun playing those games.*
Tinood jud dae ,sauna mangayo jud daw og katahoran bisan di kaila magkahinag -bo ,karon ambot og naa paba.Sauna malipay najud mig naay pan pasalubong ,di pajud mamili og sud an ,pero karon akong mga anak di pwede og di jud mokaon kung di ganhan sa sud an ,daghan nagpauso mga choco drink ,mga unsa pana diha wa jud na namo ,candy ray nailhan og sopas
*Hahaha bitaw dae sa? Sauna candy ug sopas lipay naa kaayo ta ba. Gamay nga butang makontento na kaayo ta...Murag di na uso ng mangayo ug katahuran Ron dae. Kabalo na Gani mag storya if mga di maayo nga storya ang mga bata karon dayon kusog na kaayo mutubag sa mga mas magulang pa nila*
Indeed so much has change. I remember while I was in elementary we would great every adult along our way to school be it farmer, teacher and whoever. Now, kids could bump right in front of you and not even sah sorry. Maybe parents have failed or the media has influenced them so much in a negative way.
*That's true, it's very rare to hear kids now saying sorry to adults. Maybe one of the reason why they had that kind of behaviour is because of social media influence too. They see many vidoes that's inappropriate to the younger ones*
My little sister is more than 10 years older than me , and sometimes I also start comparing my childhood life with her today life and I realized that she missed the lots of things in life. Because like today child her most of time also spent on the front of TV and playing computer game.Indeed our time period is best we enjoyed a lot in our childhood
*Our childhood days is really the best. Playing those outdoor games is so much fun than watching television and playing online games.*
The difference is really noticeable sis. Though there are perks of growing up with modern technology, still nothing can beat the pysical exercise and the values that we have learned before.
*Tinuod jud sis. Mas nindot pa jud tong mga experience na'to sauna ng mga bata pa ta.*
Unfortunately, this is what children have become these days. I was just yesterday talking about this and how the children of this generation do not respect anyone and are immersed in phones and computers.
*Yeah it's so sad to see some children who become like that. One of the reason of it is because of the what they see online. Proper guidance from parents and guardians is a must.*
Ma'am I was laughing while reading that kids nowadays they call adults by names. haha it's true.
*Yeah, younger generations today are less respectful already and if it continues, we will have a worse individuals in the future*
Lahi ra jud mga bta sauna sis ky puro singot ato dangatan pg mgduwa sa gwas krn yahay ra cge ra swipe swipe sa cp or tablet hehehe. True jud ng way mga btsan kdlasan na ron mga new generation. Di gni maminaw sa mga parents. Sakahan mn sd ta ug highblood makakita.

*Makaluya nga maka highblood Sis ay...Mas nindot jud tong sa panahonan na'to sauna. Kausa lang na Tan aw sa ato ginikanan, mahadlok na dayon ta karon bisan madako pa ang tingog sa ginikanan, di gihapon maminaw*
Truly sad how parents neglect their children's behaviour while they grow.... But wonder why they are the way they are when they are grown. God help us raise better children in the community.
*Yeah it's really sad that other parents neglected their child's attitude.*
God help us ... Please check out my 1st Article "A Night That Should Never Come".... 🙏🙏On my wall
Totoo yan sis "Lack of Guidance" talaga. Yung inii-spoil lang sis. Yung hinahayaan lang. Hindi talaga maganda sa mga bata kaya yung iba marunong sila mambully sis at masaya pa yan sila.
*Tama ka sis. Madami akong nakikita dito na mambu-bully ng kapwa bata nila. Minsan naiinis ako kung bakit di napagsabihan ng mga magulang, yun pala ay tinotolerate nila ang mga maling gawain ng mga anak nila. Ilang beses ng naging biktima ng pambu-bully ang mga anak ko*
Sis tama ka maraming pagbabago na sa ngayon ang mga kids kumpara noon. Dati halos lahat sa bahay lamang nauubos ang oras ng mga bata kalaro ang mga pinsan at kpitbhay. Ngayon andian na ang ibat ibang gatgets na halos diyan na nakatuon oras nila while gaming.
*Totoo yan sis, dati pawis na pawis tayong naglalaro sa labas ngayon bihira nalang tayo makakita ng ganyan kasi kahit sa murang edad pa lang ng mga bata, May mga cellphone at tablet na sila*
This generation needs more ways to learn manner.
*You are right but it seems too hard to let it be since other parents are now busy with their work and they forget to watch their child as they grows*
That is called generation Gap. The kids open Thier eyes in which environment they use to of it . For example I took 30 years to reach my first Mobile set while today's kids starts using in age 3 or 4. Yes that in unfortunate that kids now are more irrespective , unmannered and low temper.
*Indeed, now even at younger age kids knows how to operate a tablet or cellphone and because they are expose to gadget always and because parents let it be, that's why they begin to have an inappropriate attitude*
Dako na ug kalahian sis. Walay mkalabaw sa atong experience before kay mas aligri sauna. Dli expose sa gadgets or technology. Wlay lain mahunahunaan kay duwa lang outdoor. Mouli na ug gabie nga bulingit ug gisi na mga shorts. Hehehe kung pwdi pa lang mabalik ang sauna. ☺️
*Relate kaayo ko anang muoli lang ug bulingit niya gisi ang short sis. Kanang mag slide² gamit ang palwa sa lubi, makalingaw kaayo. Bahala ug mahugaw o magisi ang short, ang importante nalingaw pag ayo, hahaha..kung pwede lang mabalik sis, nindot jud kaayo to nga time*
80s and 90s kids yan ang mga batang masaya ang childhood dae sleeper game , Chinese garter,bato Lata, skeeping rope, tago taguan ,etc versus gadget na ngayon , napakalaking deperensya.
*Tinuod jud na dae. Pinakabest gyud to na mga time. Malingaw pa kaayo ko anang Chinese garter kay hawod lagi kuno mulukso², hahaha. Sa bato Lata ug slipper game, pirmi ra ko taya Ana, hahaha*
My dear friend, I completely agree with you. In the past, children understood the meaning of sanctity and respect, but not today. In disbelief I see today's children disrespecting their elders, arguing with them, and humiliating their parents in front of others. And in general, they behave very ugly, as if their parents never spend time raising them.
*That's disheartening to see my friend, Seeing children talk balk to their parents, humiliating their parents and worst they don't respect elders much this days. One reason of it is the social media influence. Sometimes they see some things which are inappropriate to their age and they tend to follow or imitate what they saw*
Times are changing, and we are losing moral standard in terms of how we bring up children these days. This can be attributed to parents working round the clock, and barely home to teach their children values. Just buy video games to keep them occupied while they are away at work
*I agree with you. Mostly parents who are working non-stop in a day just provide tablets and cellphones to their kids for them to be entertained. Sometimes because of it, kids learned some things that aren't good at their age like cussing and talking back to their elders*
Exactly. The internet doesn't have a filter, anything can be seen.
*That's true. Anyways, have a blessed day my friend*
Your observance goes a long way it is definitely through the lack of parental guidance
*Yeah that's really one of the top reason why kids behave in a inappropriate way.*
This real and universal scenario has been considered"a hashtag" or trademark of the youth in the modern civilization.As long as multimedia continuously come to age,attitude and values of people also being degraded.There is no exact formula of making them behave the way we did in our time,but understanding their world would lessen a little trouble in our hearts.
*Yeah there's no exact formula in making them like we have been before but we can minimize having that kind of attitude if we parents know how to guide and teach them what needs to be done but sadly some parents are too busy at work just to meet their every day needs and i can't blame them for that. They are doing their best to provide for their family.*
