Childhood Lost

Children today are noticeably different from previous generations, and the proof is in the news coverage we see every day. This site shows you what’s happening in schools around the world. Children are increasingly disabled and chronically ill, and the education system has to accommodate them. Things we've long associated with autism, like sensory issues, repetitive behaviors, anxiety and lack of social skills, are now problems affecting mainstream students. Blame is predictably placed on bad parenting (otherwise known as trauma from home).

Addressing mental health needs is as important as academics for modern educators. This is an unrecognized disaster. The stories here are about children who can’t learn or behave like children have always been expected to. What childhood has become is a chilling portent for the future of mankind.

Loss of Brain Trust features over 9,000 news stories published worldwide since January, 2017

What will happen in another 4 years? How can we go on like this? This is a national (and international) problem of monumental proportions. We have an entire new class of children who cannot be accommodated by the system: many are manifestly neurologically impaired. Meanwhile, the government and the medical profession sleep on regardless.

The generation of American children born after 1990 are arguably the sickest generation in the history of our country.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

It seemed to me that with rising autism prevalence, you’d also see rising autism costs to society, and it turns out, the costs are catastrophic.
They calculated that in 2015 autism cost the United States $268 billion and they projected that if autism continues at its current rate, we’re looking at one trillion dollars a year in autism costs by 2025, so within five years.

Beauregard, LA: Call for info on making "sensory friendly pool hours"

July 21, 2021, Beauregard (LA) Daily News: West Park Pool seeking suggestions for sensory-friendly pool hours https://www.beauregarddailynews.net/story/news/2021/07/21/west-park-pool-seeking-suggestions-sensory-friendly-pool-hours/8013815002/

The West Park Pool is looking for ideas and suggestions from parents regarding the implementation of sensory-friendly times or days at the pool. The West Park Pool is aware that for some children the normal public pool conditions can be too much. The pool hopes to establish certain times, such as before the pool opens to the general public, where sensory-friendly times would be available for those who would benefit from it. West Park Pool is also seeking ideas for activities that these young patrons would enjoy. Those who think sensory-friendly pool hours and activities are needed or have ideas are invited to email acraddock@cityofderidder.org.
