A whole lot of people have a whole lot to say about why this happened. There are many complex theories floating around out there. But it seems like the most we can do these days is shrug our shoulders and sadly shake our heads. Maybe what we need to do isn't so complex and complicated after all. Maybe it's just a matter of paying closer attention to each other and to our kids.
Life gets so crazy sometimes that it's easy to lose our sensitivity.
Hectic schedules and jam-packed calendars make it easy for subtleties to slip right past us. They are our kids. We should know what they're wearing, buying, watching, listening, doing and who they're sharing their time with. And we need to fine-tune our observations to spot things that don't make sense. We need to be more in touch with those around us, especially our children.
