how to say–> how do you say _____ in English?
–> how should I put it?

Why do you think that kids are cleverer today than they were twenty years ago?

The answer is definitely yes, because it may have three main reasons. The first one is that children now have a lot of channel to know this world, compare with the time we were young, we didn’t have computer, iPad, smartphone, the only way to know this world is to watch TV. So the information channel is totally different, which make the children now more smart.

Secondly, the education method is different. The parents now all well-educated, so that they have learned a lot of scientific educational theories for their children. I remember when I was young, my parents always punish me for some very small things, just like don’t eat vegetables, and even hit me with a lot of different tools. Sometimes they use shoes, sometimes they use rulers. But now we never hit our children. If she is a boy, maybe I will hit him.  Sometimes we will say a story to teach her, if we hit her hand, she will dislike us. Sometimes she told to my parents we hit her.

The last one is the children have better nutrients now then we before. Remembered when I was young, I hadn’t had fruit everyday, and no export milk powder, and always ate what our parent ate. So the food nutrient will help their brain develop well.

In conclusion, they are smarter than 20 years because of the above reasons.

I remember when I was young, my parents always punish me for some very small things, such as not eating vegetables, and even hit me with a lot of different tools. Sometimes they use shoes, sometimes they use rulers. But now we never hit our children. If she were a boy, maybe I would hit him.  Sometimes we will tell her a story to teach her a lesson, if we hit her hand, she will dislike us. Sometimes she tells on my parents that we hit her.
