It’s not the children who’ve changed it’s the parenting. Kids aren’t so different these days, they’re still innocent and full of joy if they’re allowed to be. It’s the parents who are responsible for what the kids are and sadly lots don’t have time to bring them up in the old ways with everyone working longer and longer and even grandparents working past retirement.
Many different factors at play. The world has changed in many ways contributing to a change in both children's behaviours AND parenting styles. The family unit is not the same as before. Majority of families have both parents working due to the economy and women's rights, and children being raised by daycares. Also big advancements in technology and the field of Psychology also have a big role in how parents interact with their children, and how children behave. The circumstances are too different to even compare.
I think that wonderful authentic innocent situation is lost forever. World has changed in so many ways into that cold place we all know - without illusions of hopeful perspectives for us and these beautiful little people - and this true loveley heartwarming atmosphere imo only will be a self-deception today - but nevertheless it's a WONDERFUL memory ❤!
This takes me back to the 70s when i used to go out for long walks in the countryside with my grandad and sometimes i could take a friend along as well. Happy memories indeed 😊😊
Having a lovely little stroll through the country. Oblivious to the fact that thousands of people from a future world are watching the replay on technology that could only be imagined as science fiction.
We've brought our daughter up in the same way as this delightful little girl. Giving your time to your children, showing love, teaching manners, fun & laughter is the greatest gift you can give...& it lasts forever.
This made me smile and warmed my heart Robbie and his wee companion just enjoying the countryside hope all that is not built on now most of where I used to play and walk as a kid back then has gone .
A short clip of times past. Such a happy go lucky girl with Fyfe. Sun shining and not a care in the world. I was 6 in 1971 and life was much ' simpler' and we had our freedom to go running all about. Different times, different people. Was life better then? For me i think YES.
@@garryleeks4848 In the 🌎today we seem to be selling our morals in return for a mess of cultural pottage I reduced my time watching our MSM in 2016 and by 2020 at the start of the pandemic I gave up completely I have been watching a lot of these channels like BBC Archive, ITN Archive on TH-cam from the good old days and they bring back great memories and sometimes I have 😭😭watching them as it takes me back to my childhood Times when Men could and would show off their MASCULINITY and Women could and would show off their FEMININITY ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🏴
Watching the " tonight" programme as a child with my parents ,I always looked forward to the Fyffe Robertson reports . There is something magical about his style and voice .
I have a nearly 6 year old son, who is just as chatty/was as chatty as a younger age (too much at times ;) ...), this little girl in '71 is no different. The one major difference I've noticed, when comparing with today (Nov '22), is somewhat of a lessened conversation between parents and children, now of course I might have witnessed 'quiet time' or something so I'd hate to generalise so quickly. I was/still do ask my son questions about everything...."which way should we go to town?", "how many black cars can we see?", "How would you make that?", etc ,etc. We can all have a well adjusted, well manner'd, inquisitive, etc, etc child, if we put the effort in (which I am seeing the fruits of my labour now slowly coming out).
It saddens me to think that the world this represents is in so many ways a lot more than 53 years ago. In 'moving on' the world and each and everyone one of us in it seem to have so little idea of what we're 'moving on' to.
Kids now are being SOOO lazy considering that one of my cousins was the same age as that little girl. I am 18 and my cousin is 8 and he always is on his phone ALL the time. Also, I have seen toddlers just straight up cry when their tablet is taking away since all kid want now is is just playing games on the computer. Man, times have changed! This is why I want to go back to the 60s and 70s again where adults and kids are WAY more nicer and the music on the radio back then was just fantastic!
I love this video and share this quote with you too, “A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him.”. -David Brinkley...
This is just lovely. I have read a lot of negative comments here about today's world. Children have the same potential as ever, they just need to be given time and attention and have their screen time kept in proportion so it is only a small part of their lives. I know children today who are just as lovely and innocent as this.
The reason kids can't do this as much anymore is because roads like the one pictured here have been entirely surrendered to cars going at 60 mph, making it unsafe. Adults complain about kids not leaving their homes anymore, but whenever we try and reduce the prominence of cars in our residential areas (such as with Low Traffic Neighbourhoods) those same adults are the ones objecting to such schemes. Our future can look like this again. We can have a culture of kids walking and cycling to school and being independent. We as adults have to kerb our car usage to achieve that.
That was an extended essay in 'awwww'. Would be great if someone knows Louise and sends her the link. (Side note - daffodils in full bloom in May - this year, they were done and dusted by March/April.)
Bit of a sweeping generalisation of the youth of today there. My son is a similar age to the girl there and loves walking around the river and woodlands near me, conversing all the while. Not a phone in sight, i assure you!
@c0mpu73rguy I doubt too many kids of that age today would be engaged with "mobile phone and tiktok nonsense". Teenagers, may be, but not toddlers, surely?
How old and boring can someone sound? Seriously how many 4-5 year olds do you think sit on a mobile phone looking at TikTok all day? Btw you wrote this under a video you wouldn't need to watch. How about going outside?
I am enjoying these BBC trips through OUR archives, very much. But sadly, it also reminds us of how much, the quality of programming content, over the intervening years, , has declined.

If you want life simple live it simple. Give the interferences a swerve. Some children are ferried from here to there to next place with precious little time left for their own time and inventive, self-driven play. That, in my opinion, is the most important play of all.

I Wish we could walk like that now days..Its home or bus or car..no fresh air...insulin resistence..and stressed out population. And if we do walk Its not in nature its in a car park or Building..or some cement area ..and rubbish everywhere.
Come and stay in the country.the ordanace srvey maps could show you paths in lovely British countryside like this and you wont see a car or other soul. In lockdown we had a Spring like this and it was dry underfoot . There was great joy to be found in finding new routes and walking in fields like this little girl. I hope you get a chance..it's free and liberating, put your lunch in a little rucksack, in winter I bring hot soup
people in the comments section complaining about how kids are different these days. of course they're going to be different, the passage of time is unavoidable. maybe you yearn for bygone days and you know they wont come back. and theres nothing wrong with that

This makes me nostalgic for when my grandparents used to take me round sutton park for a walk back in the 80s as a kiddo.
Awww, this is beautiful! I was born in that year. Children were so different back then...
Very polite and a personality
I was born in 1971 as well.
I was 4 that year and still polite
Brought up better thats why. Parents taught manners and respect.
@@92kd11 true
this is trully lovely & i enjoy listening to the conversation.😊

Glorious - but not a different era

Lovely

This is how to engage with children - unrushed, interested, engaged, enjoyed, focused
Amen. I work as a nanny after raising my own kids and much of what I do is like this. Do not despair, they were modern parents who value this way 😊
