The Philosophy of Kids TV Part 2: Parenting

Nickelodeon shows like Nicky Ricky Dicky and Dawn, iCarly, Drake & Josh, The Thundermans, Victorious, Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide and Henry Danger and Disney shows like Good Luck Charlie, Wizards of Waverly Place, Jessie, Liv & Maddie, That's So Raven, Hannah Montana, and Lizzy Mcguire gave very different message and morals about parenting than older shows like Father Knows Best, Growing Pains, Family Ties, The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet, or The Brady Bunch, and as a consequence, parents raised their kids in very different ways depending on which era they grew up in.

Your Childhood Didn't Matter. Your Generation Does.

You were more shaped by your generation than your parents. Parents’ influence matters less than you think—backed by 40 years of twin adoption studies. Happiness, intelligence, success and values are more impacted by being a zoomer or a boomer. No Millennials allowed.
