Blame it on their young brains.....yeah right.
More like blame it on their over-educated parents.
Parenting doesnt come from a book.
Kids dont speak to their brains, they talk with/to their parents, just curious, where are the parental controls in all of this? Where do the kids get the money for this junk food?
That's right folks....the parents.
It's the parent's that can't say "no" to the kids, what a bunch of chumps.

When I read...
Indeed, the past decade of research on children's brain development has shown conclusively that they are not little adults and that the prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain used for higher-order decision making, doesn't mature in humans until the teenage years or beyond
Did I not also read this as it relates to Autistic Children..
in that the PreFontal Cortex is UnderDeveloped ?
Thoughts ?
