Just curious: how many of you (with male difficult children, since that's typically where this happens) have difficult children who are involved with "the skateboarder crowd"?
I ask not to demonize skateboarding as an activity--it's obviously as innocuous as any other activity in empirical terms--but because I have seen a VERY high incidence of difficult child-ness among teen skateboarders. In the town where my difficult child family member lives, the skateboarding crowd is practically a magnet for difficult children--or maybe its social influence breeds difficult children? Not sure which, but the correlation is simply astounding. Wondering what others have seen regarding this.
