The act of telling children to leave the space of adults during adult talk is still taking place until this day so it is not something that has been phased off completely. But there's a reduction in the rate due to reasons best known to parents and also the influence of technology and mortality issues. Most parents no longer believe that kids are still kids as they believe that for the fact that the kid is also having access to the internet, he might know more that what they want to discuss and this will make them careless about who's present and who is not.

When we were kids, some of us feel so bad whenever that instruction is given because it makes you curious about what they want to talk about.
When I was growing up, immediately we have visitors I mean adult visitors who came to see my parents we will leave the space they are after greeting them, this is how it has been for me when I was a child and to be honest that’s same thing I will do to my children, when I have visitors they should learn to excuse us so we can discuss, no matter the topic children should not be were adults are discussing.
Children learn things very fast so I won’t like my children to learn adult way of life quick, they are children they should enjoy their childhood without having to think about adulthood.
I will teach them everything they need to no, if you want to educate children very well about life you need to take it one step at a time.
This is true. We got used to this leaving before they ask you to leave as a method to avoid that feeling that comes with being asked to leave the house. Some of us also got used to sign language and we act immediately. If you delay before leaving or you act like you don't want to leave, you will not like the outcome when the visitors leave. So it's better to train kids to act and get used to it because adults discussion can contain some sensitive topics that may be a security threat when leaked or morality breach for kids.

There's what we call "gentle parenting" these days and I feel it will be a lot harder to ask your child to leave a space when you're trying to have a conversation because to you it's nothing to worry about if they are there or not.
I remember growing up, we were taught to understand what a single look from mum meant and if ever we went against it, we'd be in soup when we got home. These days, some children rarely value or understand "the look", some even laugh it off when they see it or will ask "what?, why you looking at me?".  The thing with gentle parenting is that some values get dropped on the way just because the parent doesn't want to appear as the bad guy if they enforce some rules.
Honestly I think I really missed the good old days of the disciplinary system back then, Omo you just remember me when my mum could just use her eyebrow to disappear from the living room whenever we were having visitors around…

There is really alot of different between how things were back then and now, in the time of my childhood you never lacked what we called “Respect” and “Fear” like the looks already were like a strong law  never to get any explanation we understood the code of every movement back then of our parents, what was the main goal was to get in with all of the thing was Obeadienece,

For me, it has both good and bad side. Back in those days, many parents usually as their children to excuse them when adults are discussing serious matter. It really helps because there are things children ain’t supposed to listen to, especially something that has to do with money, quarrels or adult discussion. But nowadays things have really changed. Children of nowadays ask more questions and many parents always try to make them understand what is happening around the vicinity.

The problem isn’t even if they are listening to what adults are saying but it’s when they no longer know there boundaries and they begin to interrupt when adults are discussing. Bringing back the culture of politely telling children to excuse adults while discussing is bad. Most times it teaches respect and discipline. It will make them understand that every discussion has it own age and time. Adult also need to explain to children when necessary instead of hiding things from them.

This conclusion that things has changed and asking children to leave while having a serious discussion is bad, to me is a wrong perspective or believe that need not to be in practice and deserves to be changed know matter what. There is limitations on what everyone can accommodate at a specific age range so exposing them to what there brains can't accommodate is a very wrong practice. 
People of this generation takes many things for granted without knowing it will in turn become a problem for them at last.

We have actually lost something when stopped having clear  boundaries between adults conversations and giving children space, not because they shouldn’t ask questions but because not every discussion is meant for their age and level of understanding.

I don’t think just by simply telling the children to leave the room is enough anymore because many of those conversations now happen online where there is no room to leave. A child with a phone can come across topics that are far more mature than anything they would have heard from adult sitting in the room.

I think the old rules still holds its value but it has to be combined with better parenting as well. While some conventions should remain between adults, parent should also be able to explain difficult topics to their children when they are matured enough instead of letting the social media do the teaching.
I do not think that asking children to leave the room is right approach. Some discussion are not appropriate for children. If we constantly exclude them from these conversation and ask them to leave room when we start discussing those topic that can cause a sense of curiosity in them. Later on, they can ask their friends or internet for answer rather than asking their parents.

It is responsibility of the parents more to adjust the conversation according to the person who is present. If there is a sensitive topic to be discussed, they should postpone it and discuss it later in front of their kids, it can build trust between parents and children and encourage them to communicate openly with their parents.

On point mate, back then no one will tell you what to do because with just an eyebrow, one will know what to do and back in those old times, the discipline then really make one to live and posses a good lifestyle, as one is respectful and obedient compare to this present time where the young ones will be living a kind of lifestyle that they think they are of same age with the elderly one’s, always wanting the old one’s to tell them what to do at all times before knowing what to do and that’s bad, as it makes parenting difficult for people.
