re: Neurologist lists 4 activities parents should never let their kids do

I wonder how far down the list "letting the kids watch hours upon hours of TikTok". However low it is...it should be a helluva lot higher.

Pretty much guarantee following this will see your son wear a dress or at least put their preferred pronouns in their eSig at work.

Anyone who has ever been to a youth football game (under middle school age) knows that these kids don't hit hard enough to cause any issues.

At middle school age, good technique and coaching is critical.

But if anything, parents should let their little kids play tackle, and then get concerned about tackle in middle school.

We have some family friends who adamantly refused to allow their boys to play football because of the risk of head injuries. So they played soccer instead...suffering multiple concussions by (1) purposefully slamming their heads into a ball traveling at 30, 40 mph, and/or (2) colliding heads with another player while jumping up to try to head said ball.

He probably also recommends boys to drink a lot of soy and never pickup anything heavy.

As always the OT knows more than the doctors and scientists who literally study this shite for a living. lmao.

If the list was "4 things Neurologists say are most dangerous for a child" it would be credible.

"Should never do" is activism.

Any physician that posts on TikTok should automatically have their medical license revoked.

Hell there ain't 100 kids left in the world who could do all of that at one time. Back in the day we all coulda done it but today? Not a chance....

My kids have done all of it but it is dangerous....a ship is at its safest when it is tied up to a dock but that ain't what a ship is built to do....I apply that to life in general...
