Volunteering in a kids club

A few weeks ago I signed up as a volunteer at a kids club. The kids come together once a week and spend some creative hours. Although I realised that the youth had changed over time, it has become more clear since I joined.

It is a known fact that more and more parents work and more and more kids spend their time in a daycare. Maybe this might be the reason why kids have changed? When we were young kids came home from school and found their mother at home with a cup of tea and they would tell her about school. Now kids go to daycare, find their mum tired at home cooking dinner. After dinner the kids need to go to soccer,hockey,ballet or whatever club and they do not even talk to their parents anymore.

Well, these kids are gone wild. They are in fact sweet kids and with a little attention they blossom and are adorable but at first sight they seem to be mad. My goal is to give these kids some attention and help them developing into wonderfull people. What are you doing to help your neighbours?
