For sure....
Just look at this single fear-based belief and what it has done to our ENTIRE society!
It's lead to:
-
Kids 'sentenced' to being inside & vitamin D deficiency & God only knows what mental illnesses...
-
Kids totally disconnected from "basic survival school " (as a boy anyway) - by not being able to naturally develop basic skills for living *(more below)
-
Greatly increasing the amount of capital required to "fit in/keep up with the Jones' " so your kids don't have to be the poorest of the bunch - Nothing is ever enough - especially for most women these days - nobody knows how to go without and be ok - Small house no good - everyone needs a PC, a TV and AirCon - Open a window? Pfft...
-
We could go on and on....
- (Short list of things kids kept on lockdown by overbearing mothers will never learn):
How to build and light a fire...what burns and doesn't burn..."Adventures with WD40", Raid can shoot fire 20 feet, The importance of a sharp knife and how to NOT stab yourself in the leg or lacerate every inch of your fingers and hands, The art of bicycle maintenance, how to paint your bike, patience - the importance of waiting for paint to dry - the importance of lube (comes in handy later in life) and how to crash your bike without a helmet and walk away unscathed, avoiding landing on the frame cross bar...Not catching your bag on the front edge of the seat (or burning on black vinyl) on a hot day...How to piss outside, How to shit outside if you absolutely HAVE TO and learning what leaves you absolutely must NOT ever wipe with!, Righty-Tightly, Lefty-Loosey and which way the selector switch goes on a ratchet & understanding WHY it's backwards, How to air up your bike tires...patching a tube, replacing a tube and tire with only 2 regular screwdrivers, How to true a rim because you layed it down in the driveway and your ditzy freind's mom ran over it, Understanding the difference between cheap tools and good ones, How to drive a nail and not hit your thumb while building a fort or treehouse, Letting water run for a bit and drinking from a hose, why you shouldn't drink from a creek or downstream from that cattle farm, getting lost and finding your way back - How the sun moves, etc etc etc
Kids are missing out on a LOT of lessons...Notice how they totally ruined boy scouts, where you'd learn a lot of this stuff - especially if you lived in the city.
For sure....
