Should a guy be encouraged to have an interest in cars at a young age?

I cannot stand modern tween world, most boys these days would rather watch cringey YouTube normie "influencers" with tons of screaming and cuss words and innuendo than develop an actual hobby. And no, a Transformers or some Fortnite car doesn't count.

Yes

No

Not just cars, but SOMETHING other than watching a video screen. It can be hiking, playing sports, woodworking, gardening, metal fabrication, biking, raising animals... doesn't matter, just get them (boys and girls) away from the video screens.

When kids today reach their late teens, almost none of them know how to do anything, and most of them don't understand what responsibility means. They have ZERO job skills (other than YouTube searches and making TikTok videos). Requiring them to do any level of physical labor is like pulling teeth.

My point is get kids DOING things. If they're interested in cars, then so be it. But it doesn't necessarily have to be something mechanical.

I was going to say the same thing. Really, now that I look back when I started getting into the internet and stuff, I wish I could've done more than just stay slammed to a screen.
