Every generation grows up in a different world than their parents.
Today's children are the first daycare generation, the first to grow up in an electronic society full of computers and surrounded by new forms of multimedia technology. They live in a world of abstraction more than reality, as environment and nature become more of a projected image than something experienced first hand. They are the first post-sexual revolution generation, being exposed to more sexually explicit pictures and language on television and films. Parents and family members, ideally, should have enough time together to talk about life's issues, including how to relate with others and to create satisfying personal relationships. Traditional families, where the teaching of social values and customs was once lodged, are giving way to new family structures and new childhood freedoms that did not exist forty years ago.
