Very true about the parents! Perhaps both are correct?Jelze Bunnycat wrote:It's not children getting dumber, more like parents getting sue-happy whenever a child gets hurt by a toy.

Simply different norms.
Back in the day, you could swallow the Fisher Price Little People.
Tonka trucks were made of diecast metal.
And earlier than that, children were given ACTUAL FIREARMS AND NUCLEAR KITS.
It was also the time were kids were allowed to play "dangerous games" like tag and Jungle Gym. Kids are not "dumber". We make them so.

Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.
Don't know about you, but at 5 years old, I had already figured out not to swallow toys.-Kanrabat- wrote:Simply different norms.

Children in the US are still given actual firearms. Kinda sad a kid can have a real rifle, but not a G1 Megatron.-Kanrabat- wrote:And earlier than that, children were given ACTUAL FIREARMS AND NUCLEAR KITS.

So, very, VERY young is 6yo+? That makes no sense.
