However, interests do change and an airplane flying by, no longer mesmerizes kids like it did in 1940.
Are you speaking on behalf of the children? Or are you speaking on behalf of yourself? This is the attitude of the adults that I'm speaking. A child is interested in anything interesting. It's not what you give a child it's how you give it to them. This is why we have waiting lists for kids to enter our program.
The trouble is; the child has a tendency to grow up, and when that happens their attitude does in deed, change! I think it's called "maturity".
So what you're saying is that children are evolving quicker then before???/ It's all a numbers game. If you teach 10,000 children about aeromodeling you're going to capture at least some of them for life. If you teach 0 children about aeromodeling then the number is going to be much less.
