Those of you that read this regular series know that I am from Hackett, Arkansas, just a mile or so from the Oklahoma border, and just about 10 miles south of the Arkansas River. It was a rural sort of place that did not particularly appreciate education, and just zoom onto my previous posts to understand a bit about it.
There is tremendous betwixt how children were raised 50 years ago and now, whether in a little town or a large city. Tonight we shall contrast how I was raised to how children today are. I am not talking so much about the cultural evolution as I am the technology available, but the two are quite entangled.
This is going to be sort of a stream of consciousness set of recollections about how we did things back when I was little and how it is done now. Most of the topics are everyday activities that families do routinely.
