Life In The 1970s For Kids!

The 70s was a time when kids spent the majority of their time outside playing. They made friends with other neighborhood kids and they did all sorts of things together. This was a time when most kids didn't have a video game system until the very end of the decade. Home computer systems for kids were almost unheard of. In this video we will discuss life in the 1970s for kids prior to those becoming much larger in the 1980s.

As a 70s kid, I remember the total freedom to go anywhere I wanted, so long as I was home when my parents got back from work or when it got dark in the summer. The things we did by ourselves is something that would get cops called on parents today. Was a great time to grow up.

As a kid in the 70's the cereal we ate was based upon what kind of prize they had inside.😄👍

100% agree, I wouldn’t change my childhood either. I feel for these kids

Born in the 60's, grew up in the 70's and partied in the 80's. What a blessed life.

As a kid of the 70's I had the pleasure of experiencing every single one of these memories...back then we spent endless days dreaming about the future...today we spend endless days longing for the past. 😕

The 70s was the best time to be a kid! Saturday morning cartoons were the thing I looked forward to the most, then it was outside until dark!

The 70s were hands down the greatest decade, especially to be a kid. I would give anything to relive ‘74 to ‘79 in a continuous loop forever.

I was born in 1963 so I lived and loved the 1970's. I would do it again any day.

This got me emotional. I miss it so badly. As a 70's kid, we were tougher than kids today. We played hard, and we treated our parents like they were gods. It was a bad idea to talk back to your mom or Dad or other adults, for that matter. Great times.

I was born in 1965. I am told by many young adults today (including my kids) how lucky I was to grow up in the 70’s. Life definitely seemed much simpler back then. Summers spent swimming, riding bikes, and camping. I do long for simplicity again.

Being a teen in the 70s
Is a time I wish I could go back to. ❤

Having true freedom as a kid in the 70’s made growing up in this time was the best years of my life

I was born in 1960 and loved all the things I did in the '70s and wouldn't trade my childhood for anything especially playing outside all day and coming home only when street lights came on, I sure do miss those days!! Thank you!!

It’s so sad this has all been lost! It was a magical time to grow up, and we did grow up! We Turned out pretty awesome too😁❤️

Kids DID have food allergies, but Doctors just misdiagnosed it.😐 I’m allergic to eggs and almost died several times. Every time I went into anaphylaxis from my food allergy they thought I was having asthma attacks because I suddenly wasn’t able to breath. The only reason I’m alive is that the treated me with epinephrine when I couldn’t breath, which is what happens to treat anaphylactic shock.

Its sad that kids today will never know the freedoms we had as children of the 60s and 70s. Born in 61 gave me the pleasure of both decades. Don't even get me started on the music.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Spot on.

Man, how I miss the 70's, my favorite decade. Kids actually played back then. We played hide and seek at night under the street lamp without worrying about somebody getting snatched up. Life was just so different. The 70s certainly weren't perfect, but it was the closest time we had to a Mayberry-like environment, esp in comparison to today.

[cindytrayer]

My entire childhood in the 70’s consisted of running, jumping, hopping, skipping, flipping, twirling and everything in between. Didn’t give a thought about getting fat!

EXCELLENT VIDEO!!! I am so thankful I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s. Outside all day thinking of games to play. Most families had large families, so kids of all ages would play together. Chicken fights, snowball fights, making snow forts, catching fireflies, pool hopping, camping out in our backyards with a sheet tossed over the clothesline. Too much to say, except that we were BLESSED to have our childhoods at that time. Thanks God!

NAILED IT! Born in 1967, I can attest this is ALL TRUE! Right on, Outta sight and Peace.
