The ‘me’ generation needs more exercise

I WISH to congratulate Aílín Quinlan for her column headlined ‘Children’s ‘me’ culture is evident from playing pitches to the home’ (Irish Examiner, November 11).

A truly horrendous situation has already been spawned by the parental practice of asking children ‘what to you want?’ instead of using adult judgement for that purpose and insisting on compliance.

It isn’t fair to children, or to the young adults who suffer as a consequence.
