It May Take a Village to Raise a Child, but it Takes a Society to
Raise a Generation
Economic ConditionsSocietal NormsPolitical EventsMajor Crises
Each Generation• Consists of approximately a 20-year span
(not all demographers and generation researchers agree on the exact start/stop dates)
• Has a unique set of values • Reacts to the generation before them• Looks at their generation as the standard of
comparison• Looks at the next generation skeptically
“these kids today…”• They are either idealistic, reactive, civic or
adaptive
The Veterans (also known as the Silent Generation or the Greatest Generation) 1925–1942 (adaptive)

The Veterans• Children of the Great Depression and WWII,
this generation decided not to attack the institutions created by the generation before them, but instead, as global thinkers, they chose to focus on improving and refining them so that they could be good for everyone, not just a select few.
• The overall goal was not to change the system, but to work within it.
• While economically very successful, they were also the inventors of "the midlife crises" probably because they didn't get a chance to enjoy the freedoms of their youth.
The VeteransImportant Events• Lindbergh Completes
First Transatlantic Flight
• Stock Market Crash• Depression• The New Deal• Social Security• Pearl Harbor• The End of WWII• FDR Dies• Korean War
The Veteran Generation Childhood
• Raised by the GI Generation (civic)• Large families (3-5 children)• Strong sense of extended family (same
town or home)• Grandparents in the home• Average 10-year-old spent 4-6 hours
daily with a significant adult role model• Rural society• Apprenticeship businesses and farming• Perception of the world as “safe”
The Baby Boomers 1943–1964 (the largest generation, idealist)Core Values
OptimismTeam OrientationPersonal GratificationHealth and WellnessPersonal GrowthYouthWorkInvolvement
Baby BoomersImportant Events• Rosa Parks• First Nuclear Power Plant• The Civil Rights Act• Cuban Missile Crisis• John Glen Orbits the Earth • Martin Luther King Leads March on Washington,
D.C.• President John F. Kennedy Assassination• National Organization for Women Founded• Martin Luther King Assassination • Robert F. Kennedy Assassination• Watergate• Kent State Massacre• Vietnam War• Woodstock
The Baby Boomer Childhood• Divorce reached a low in 1960 of 9%• Families moved due to GI Bill, GI housing
and industrialization• First generation to live miles from
extended family• Family size smaller (2-3 children)• Few grandparents in the home• Moms stayed home• Dads carpooled• Children spent significant time with adult
role models• Perception of the world as “safe”
The Gen Xers 1965–1982A Lost Generation… A Nomadic Generation…..Half the Size of the Baby Boom (reactive)
Core ValuesDedicationHard WorkConformityLaw and OrderPatienceDelayed rewardDuty before pleasureAdherence to rulesHonor
But Also..• Pessimistic• Loners• Risk takers who don’t
play by the economic rules• Culturally alienated
Gen X Important Events• Women’s Liberation Protests• Watergate Scandal• Energy Crisis begins• Tandy and Apple Market PCs• Mass Suicide in Jonestown• Three Mile Island• US Corporations begin Massive Layoffs• Iran Hostage Crisis• John Lennon Shot and Killed• Ronald Reagan Inaugurated• Challenger Disaster• Exxon Valdez Oil Tanker Spill• HIV
Generation X• This is the conscientious, extremely
pragmatic, self-sufficient generation that has a ruthless focus on the bottom-line.
• Born and raised at a time when children were at the bottom of our social priorities, Gen Xers learned that they could only count on one thing - themselves. As a result, they are very "me" oriented.
• They are not active voters, nor are they deeply involved in politics in general.
The Gen X Childhood• Divorce reached an all-time high• Single-parent families became the norm• Latch-key kids were a major issue of the time• Children not as valued – looked at as a
hardship• Families spread out (miles apart)• Family size = 1.7 children (many only-children)• Perception of the world as “unsafe”• Average 10 year old spent 14 ½ minutes a day
with a significant adult role model• Parents looked around and said – we need to
do this better
Generation Next (civic)
The Echo Boom/Millennials… The Millennials are almost as large as the baby boom-some
say larger - depending on how you measure them (approx. 81M).
The Millennials are the children born between 1982 and 2002 (peaked in 1990), a cohort called by various names:
Generation Y Echo Boom
Net GenerationMillennials
Things Began to Change for This Generation
• Abortion rates peaked in 1980 and began a slow decline.
• Poverty rate for children peaked in 1983 and began a slow decline (Medicaid began).
• US divorce rate peaked in 1981 and began a decline.
• Homicide rate against children peaked in 1982 and began a decline.
Millennials• This generation is civic-minded, much like
the previous GI Generation. • They are collectively optimistic, long-term
planners, high achievers with lower rates of violent crime, teen pregnancy, smoking and alcohol use than ever before.
• This generation believes that they have the potential to be great and they probably do. We are looking to them to provide us with a new definition of citizenship.
The Millennial Childhood• The most monumental financial
boom in history.• Steady income growth through the
1990’s.• Still great disparity between races.• Saw their parents lose all their
stocks and mutual funds (college funds) during the early 2000’s.
Demographic Trends The Baby Boomers chose to become
older parents in the 1980s while Gen X moms reverted back to the earlier birth-age norm, which meant that two generations were having babies.
In 1989, 29 percent of the 4.4 million live births were to women aged 30 and older.
Millennials have older largely Baby Boomer parents: Average age of mothers at birth at an all time high of 27 in 1997.
Demographic Trends, cont. Smaller families: Only
children will comprise about 10% of the population.
More parental education: 1 in 4 has at least one parent with a college degree.
Kids born in the late ‘90s are the first in American history whose mothers are better educated than their fathers by a small margin.
Demographic Trends – Changing Diversity Increase in Latino immigration
- Latino women tend to have a higher fertility rates than non-Latino women.
Nearly 35% of Millennials are nonwhite or Latino.
Twenty percent of this generation has at least one parent who is an immigrant.
Millennials have become the most racially and ethnically diverse generation in US History.
Safety Issues
The Safest Generation• This generation was buckled up
in car seats, wore bike helmets, elbow and knee pads when skating, and were the inspiration for “Baby on Board” signs.
The Well-Being of U.S. Teens• Mortality Rate for US teens aged 15–19
declined from 1960 to 1997.-Teens are having fewer accidents than Boomers

Major Influencing Factors
1. Their parents2. The self-esteem movement3. The customer service movement4. Gaming and technology5. Casual communication
Parenting Millennials• This generation is being parented by well-
educated, over-involved adults who participate in “deliberate parenting.” They have outcomes in mind.
• Boomers were the first generation to be thrown out in to an unsafe world as adolescents.
• The 60’s and 70’s were very scary and many of us felt unprepared for it.
• We were naïve and didn’t have enough tools in our tool box to deal with it.
Baby Boomers as Parents• Boomers rebelled against the parenting
practices of their parents.• Strict discipline was the order
of the day for boomers.• They made conscious decisions
not to say “because I told you so” or “because I’m the parent and you’re the child.”
• Boomers became more “friendly” with their children. They wanted to have open lines of communication and a relationship with them.
Baby Boomers as Parents• They explained things to their children,
(actions, consequences, options, etc.) – they wanted them to learn to make informed decisions.
• They allowed their children to have input into family decisions, educational options and discipline issues.
• We told them “just because it is on television doesn’t mean it’s true” or “you can’t believe everything you read.”
• We wanted them to question authority.
The Result• Millennials have become
“a master set of negotiators” who are capable of rational thought and decision-making skills at young ages.
• They will negotiate with anyone including their parents, teachers and school administrators.
• Some call this “arguing.”
Helicopter Parents• Helicopter Parent (n) A
parent who hovers over his or her children.
• Or Snowplow parent: Parents who clear the way for their children
• ……these (echo) boomers are confident, achievement-oriented and used to hovering "helicopter" parents keeping tabs on their every move. (Anthony DeBarros, "New baby boom swamps colleges," USA Today, January 2, 2003)
Helicopter Parent go to College
• A new generation of over-involved parents are flooding campus orientations, meddling in registration and interfering with students' dealings with professors, administrators and roommates, school officials say.
• Some of these hovering parents, whose numbers have been rising for several years, are unwittingly undermining their children's chances of success, campus administrators say. Now, universities and colleges are moving rapidly to build or expand programs aimed at helping parents strike a better balance.
Colleges Ward Off Overinvolved Parents By Sue Shellenbarger From The Wall Street Journal Online
Baby Boomer Parents have been their Biggest Cheerleaders
• Millennials expect and need praise.
• Will mistake silence for disapproval.
• Millennials expect feedback.
Parental Care in the Millennial Era• Today’s typical family is spending
more, not less, time with kids.• Smaller families mean
more time with each child.• Fathers are spending more
time with children.• Less housework is being done.• There is a strong connection between
the social lives of parents and kids.• They get along with their parents and
share their parents’ values.
Who are your heroes? • An Associate Press/MTV poll asked
millennials who they looked up to as heroes?– 50% said their parents (29% mom, 21% dad)– 11% named a friend– 10% said God– 8% named a grandmother– 7% a brother– 5% a teacher or professor
CNN 8/20/07
Focus on Self-esteem• This generation was the center of
the “self-esteem” movement.• 9,068 books were written about
self-esteem and children during the 80s and 90s (there were 485 in the 70s).
• The state of California spent millions studying the construct and published a document entitled “Toward a State of Self-esteem.”
• Yet they can’t escape the angst of adolescence – they still feel disconnected, question their existence, purpose and the meaning of life. They want to feel valued and cared about.
Focus on Customer Service• Expect access (24/7)• Expect things to work like
they are supposed to• If they don’t “that is your
problem”• They want what they have paid for• Everything comes with a toll-free
number or web address• Want “Gateway Go Back”
in classes
Add the Impact of Gaming• Gaming has impacted children
– The game endings changed based on the decisions children made (Role Playing Games [Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy, Chronotrigger]) impacting locus of control.
– Involves a complex set of decision- making skills.
– Teaches them to take multiple pieces of data and make decisions quickly.
– Learning more closely resembles Nintendo, a trial and error approach to solving problems.
We navigated our way through…..
They navigated their way through…..
Technology• This generation has been plugged in
since they were babies.• They grew up with educational software
and computer games.• They think technology should be free.• They want and expect
services 24/7.• They do not live in an
8–5 world.• They function in an
international world.
Characteristics of Today’s Children• 76% want to learn more about the world
(much smaller for them).• 28% of high school students
access foreign news sources via the Internet.
• 90% percent of children between ages 5 and 17 use computers.
• Teens spend more time online using the Internet than watching television.
From: A Nation on the Move, http://www.ed.gov
Characteristics of Today’s Children• 94% of online teens use the Internet for
school-related research.• 24% have created their own web pages.• 16% of teens are shareholders in the
stock market.• Teens and college students combined
spend nearly $400 billion a year.• The largest group of new users of the
Internet from 2000-2002 were 2-5 year olds.34
From: A Nation on the Move, http://www.ed.gov
By age 21…..• It is estimated that the
average child will have:– Spent 10,000 hours playing video games– Sent 200,000 emails– Spent 20,000 hours watching TV– Spent 10,000 hours on their cell phone– Spent under 5,000 hours reading
• But these are issues of income. Will a child who grows up in a low income household have these same experiences?
The “Information Age” Mindset• Students have never known life without the
computer. It is an assumed part of life.• The Internet is a source of research,
interactivity, and socializing (they prefer it over TV).
• Doing is more important than knowing.
• There is zero tolerance for delays.
• The infrastructure and the lecture tradition of colleges may not meet the expectations of students raised on the Internet and interactive games.
Cell Phone Technology• They all have cell phones and expect
to be in contact 24/7.• Not a phone – a lifestyle management
tool• Staying “connected” is essential.• Communication is a safety issue for
parents.• Communication has become
casual for students (IM, email and cell phones.
What About 1st Generation Students?
• Not all students will be proficient; first-generation and students from low income or working class families may have less experience.
• Their experience with technology has been in arcades and minimally in school (poorer districts.)
• They have not had the exposure to educational uses of technology.
• We need another placement test – remedial keyboarding and technology.
• Huge digital divide between the “haves” and the “have nots” based on income levels (class).
• Digital divide is appearing in pre-K.
In School• They need to understand why
they are doing what they are doing – objectives of classroom activities and projects.
• They want to have input into their educational processes.
• They want to be involved in meaningful activities, not mundane work.
• They think it is cool to be smart.• They will respond well to programs like
“learning communities and service learning.”
Millennial Expectations• They have grown up in an outcomes-
based world – have the attitude “what’s in it for me?”
• Clear expectations, explicit syllabi, and well structured assignments.
• They expect detailed instructions and guidelines for completing assignments.
• They have come from K-12 systems where students are actively involved in learning and classroom activities change often.
• Teachers are helpers/facilitators of learning.

Difference in Values• They have witnessed their
baby boomer parents coming home from stressed jobs, exhausted, falling asleep at the dinner table; and don’t want that for themselves.
• They are a generation who is interested in a life with value and meaning – they do not aspire to what the “boomers” aspire to – they want something different.
True Multi-taskers• Millennials have lived programmed
lives and are already quite capable of learning several jobs simultaneously and performing them admirably.
• Millennials will change careers many times.
• Retooling and recycling their skills and talents will become common.
• To retain them, smart employers will encourage Millennials to try out different careers within the same company.
Need for Services • It is estimated that 3 million Millennials
have been diagnosed with ADHD and have been medicated (80% are boys).
• Within student populations, the number with disabilities has jumped from 3% to 9%.– Many have had individual education plans.– Many need testing services (quiet, separate).– Need to self-advocate to teachers.– Major transition from high school to college.
2004 Research Study• Central Piedmont Community
College’s Center for Applied Research was contracted to do this study by the Workforce Development Board.– Focus Groups were conducted.– An Online Survey was administered.– Data collected January–March 2004 from

Areas they felt they would do better: TechnologyRace Relations
Areas they felt they would do about the same:
EconomySchoolsArts/Culture
Foreign Affairs Areas they felt they couldn’t improve on: Government
Family LifeReligion Crime/Public Order
So How Do We Work With Them?• Because they have grown up in a different world,
never assume that they know certain things like:– You don’t want to talk to their mother when they are
having problems.– You don’t get points for showing up or an A for effort.– The definition of plagiarism and cheating.– It’s not appropriate to call people at home after 9pm.– They can’t use IM language in papers and
correspondence.– That when they email you at 3am, you’re not sitting
on the other end waiting to respond to them.– Businesses actually close at 5pm.
Some Major Issues Worth Addressing
• Some of them have been performing below grade level all their lives… and they may not know it (age of social promotion).
• Some will become discouraged with the expectation of work.
• Many are not very “hardy.” Will quit or drop out because “it’s hard.”
• They are very good consumers and will figure out a way to stay “under the radar.”
• They are not good planners and will do everything late if allowed.
What Should Institutions Do?
• Develop policies and practices around appropriate communication.
• Give them electronic access to as much as is philosophically possible.
• Draw a line on negotiations.• Give them definitions, boundaries
and rules.
What Should Institutions Do?
• Stop existing in an 8-5 world.• Establish prerequisites for reading and
writing intensive courses.• Force them to take developmental
courses the first semester (don’t set them up to fail).
• Stop letting them register late, hand in late work and procrastinate.
• Have an orientation to online classes that measures their technical abilities. They take them thinking they will be easier.
What Should Institutions Do?• Look into what is known about
learning.• Try to actively engage them.• Engage them in group-oriented
activities– Service learning– Study groups– Supplemental instruction– Learning communities
What Should Institutions Do?• Create alterative ways for the low-
tech students to come up to speed.– Basic keyboarding skills.– Special workshops or lab sessions on
the basics.– Help them master software that “will
do work for them.”– Get access to computers (refurbished,
community projects, grants, etc.)
One Final Word• In case you're worried about
what's going to become of the younger generation, it's going to grow up and start worrying about the younger generation. (Roger Allen)
Who Are They?• A new “Silent Generation”
referred to as Generation Z, Generation Alpha or the Homeland Generation.
• Starts mid-2000’s until about 2017 to 2020 and will be considered an artist generation.

Generation Z• Will be raised on technology, they will not be scared
of anything, they will be open to new ideas.• They will be into truth and loyalty and they will not
be not afraid to voice their opinion. • They will be flexible and open to change. • They will be fearless and fun.• They will be the ‘new’ hope for our own future.• Their great-grandparents belong mostly to
the Silent Generation and the Baby boomers form the core of their grandparents.
• Their parents are seen as being roughly evenly divided between Generation X and Generation Y.
