" As usual, most institutions (schools in particular) won't be prepared for this shift and will assume what worked for the previous batch of kids (Millennials) will work with this bunch as well. The result will be a very challenging time for schools (and eventually companies) as these stifled, conformist and compliant kids move up through the years."

I believe what would happen when Homelanders come is that they'll perceive themselves as in Millennials shadow and that teachers or bosses care less for them than Millennials who are so perfect.

I talk about the prediction when Millennials are parents everytime and that their kids revolt against them to many generational experts.

When Millennials are parents, they'll give their kids more freedom. Let kids play again. Not be in soccer so much.

@Hil*S – Millennials will spawn the next \”Prophet\” generation, which will be similar to the current Baby Boomers in character. They will rebel against the values of their Millennial parents and try to tear down the unified society they have (will) create. This should all go down around 2050 or so…

OMG! I have enough difficulty dealing with the Millenials at the drive through (luckliy not many in my workplace yet – economy); I can't bare to think of them as parents! We think they were spoiled brats… what will they spawn?

Stop having children. The world doesn't need your spawn to add to the overpopulation of the world. No point in being environmental when you keep reproducing like rabbits.

@SteveSadlov – and it only promises to get worse in the next 10-15 years!

How dare you not drive your child everywhere! How dare you allow your child to play – gasp – somewhere besides in the house / out in back / on a play date! How dare you allow your kid to go to that boy scout camp where they SHOOT GUNS! How dare you fail to microchip your kid! /sarc

I have heard of the free range kids stuff, but not looked into it much. Our kids go to Waldorf school (and have done so since kindergarten). We are definitely overparents as well, although we don't overschedule or stress. We just keep our kids close to home.

What's a blog carnival?

i think i'm in the overparenting camp myself – still.

have you heard of lenore skenazy – free range kids. fun, but entirely serious stuff.

what do you think of blog carnivals? i was thinking of starting one on gen x, but i'm not sure. they seem primarily reserved for – well, other types of people. hahahahaha
