What disturbs me as a parent, that a priest can say Mass to fast.  So, I actually see, youth of school age, with parents at Mass without missals. I don't like what I see.  Young men with hands in their pockets to receive Our Lord.  Parents, right there behind them.  Young ladies who could wear clothing, more that is and show less skin such as arms and such.

Now, where is their heart? The elderly see this and say, "Where is the reverence?"   

Knowledge= shows in attitude, and = to behavior.  It starts at home, parents

I have the wildest , most absurd suggestion.

How about everybody focus on themselves, instead of worrying about other people and how they raise their children.

Men worry about knowing their faith and sticking to in spite of the gaslighting of everyone around them.

And women learning to be more and more humble everyday.

Children are naturally adventurous and optimistic. Parents dont need to be "adventerous". They just need to be understanding and, like I said, focus on their duties.

I know the op means well, but many people are far too idle as trads. If we all had less of a busy body attitude and more solidity in the Faith (like insisting more on modesty and resistance only Mass attendance, and taking less nonsense from even our own clergy who suffer from this intellectual idleness), we would be all better off.

It's not just about raising children, but the children's apathy is a bad sign of a bigger problem. Children should be the last ones to lose a sense of wonder and adventure.

If the children are apathetic it is only because the parents are apathetic, in a spiritual sense.

We're not in this life to have adventures. But to embrace The Cross.

I fully agree with this post. However, embracing the Cross is the greatest adventure one can ever have. We are not in this life for comfort, novelty, or fleeting thrills. True heroism and eternal reward come from taking up the Cross, following Christ faithfully, and enduring all trials for His love. As Scripture says, “And he that taketh not up his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me” (Matthew 10:38, Douay-Rheims). This is the supreme adventure, the path that leads to Heaven.
