Jaded kids

Tweet

I asked my daughter what she wanted for breakfast today and she said she didn't know. I suggested three or four things, but none of them appealed to her. She finally had a granola bar and a glass of milk, because I told her to get something for herself, since she didn't know what she wanted. You know, she's a good kid, but she sure is jaded for a nine year old. And I think it's because she and most kids nowadays, have so many choices. Too many. When I was growing up, my mother made breakfast and I ate it. She didn't ask me what I wanted. Same with a lot of things where our kids have choiced we didn't have. What do you think? Are kids jaded because they have too many choices and what can we do about it, besides giving them fewer choices?
