a happy game.
We not only want them to act
Older than they are, but we want
them to look older too.
Do parents deplore the
mournful loss of innocence?
Apparently not.
According to one
manufacturer of undergarments,
the 28AA bra is doing
smashingly well. Fashion people
say it is a favored birthday gift
for ten, nine and even eight year
olds.
"Girls are growing older,
younger all the time!
rhapsodized an advertisement
appearing in a teenagers'
magazine".
'They want their first nylons
younger and their first 'high'
heels younger. They buy their
first lipstick younger . , They
put on their first bra and girdle
younger . , . They date younger .
. They go 'steady' younger.
Everything happens faster,
quicker, sooner, younger . . .
even adolescence. Girls are teens
before their time . at tenteen,
eleventeen and twelveteen."
How sad.
Why this tremendous urge to
make our children grow up so
fist and bring the social
experience down further in the
age scale . . such as organized
dancing for pre-teeners that is
met with apparent approval of
parents.
Many experts are quite beside
themselves with concern about
the effect of social pressures on
the young. They warn that
parental pressure for premature
social achievement for children
may be causing neurosis in
them. Children are just not
ready for these adult social
affairs.
But many parents who
disapprove won't put their nix
on them because of the pressure
from their kids.
It's part of the same old rat
race. A few parents start
approving dances for the very
young, the children get involved
and it picks up momentum until
all parents and all children are
caught up in it whether they
want to be or not.
Of course, it's not really the
dancing that matters „ , it's that
these social events tend to
develop into a presex training
program. If children are dancing
at eleven or twelve and
competing with each other for
popularity what are they going
to do by the time they're
fifteen or sixteen?
And for heaven's sakes,
what's the rush all about?
Children will grow up ... and all
too quickly, even when parental
pressures are kept off.
The longer they remain 'true'
children, rather than being
turned into little adults the
better for them.
Remember, it takes 10 years
to grow an oak and just six
months to grow a squash.
Of course, there are still
plenty of parents who are
holding the line, who are not
afraid of being rejected by their
offspring, who can say "No" to
social dancing, mixed parties,
and high-fashioned wardrobes
for the pre-teenager . . . without
fear of traumatizing their young.
And there are still children
around who are suffering such
quaint deprivations quite nicely,
and who may even survive.
But, since our generation
seems to take great stock in
`trend setting' we had better
beware lest those who conspire
to take childhood from our
children get all of us caught in
their trap.

Lord Rochester said, "Before
I got married I had six theories
about bringing up children; now
I have six children, and no
theories."
It's a dangerous thing for one
parent to give advice on how to
raise other people's children. I
know, I've tried it!
Just when I have the
boldfaced effrontery to spout
off to other parents how they
should raise their kids that is the
very moment one of my own
offspring will choose to do some
senseless thing that will make
their father and I feel like the
most incompetent parents on
earth . . . and leave me wishing
Pd kept my big mouth shut in
the first place.
But I never learn.
I have been reading two
books lately, The Conspiracy
Against Children', and The
Child Worshippers' and because
both of the authors touch on
subjects close to my own
thinking I venture to go out on a
lamb once more not so much
to advise, as to point out some
of the places where we parents
may be falling down.
In "The Conspiracy Against
Childhood', Mrs. Eda LeShan, a
child psychologist, makes an
alarming statement. "This is a
terrible time to be a child," she
says. She states further, that as
we parents frenetically shove our
children from one 'important
experience' to another, we seem
hell-bent on eliminating
childhood altogether.
We are determined to grind
them into adults as fast as we
can.
What are some of these
`important experiences' we feel
are such a must for our children.
Well, it seems, they must
achieve in EVERYTHING. We
have turned childhood into a
painfully competitive sport, and
not only do we want our children
to be the most popular but we
also wish them to be the
best-dressed, -fed, -educated,
-mannered, -medicated,
-cultured, and -adjusted on the
block. We constantly shunt them
from one place to another to
gain experience and enrichment
in their lives.
We can't stand to see them
doing nothing. We must keep
them busy, busy, busy. No time
for lying around on their backs
just watching the clouds skim
across the sky, or for sitting
under a tree musing, or idly
throwing stones in the air. And
should we allow them some of
these 'worthless' pleasurers we
must be sure they are doing
them in the 'correct way'.
Last summer I watched a
couple of young boys having a
whale of a time banging an old
golf ball around on the lawn
until one of the fathers came
along and insisted they hit the
ball in the proper way and use
the correct stance.
It didn't take long for his
interfering , insisting manner to
completely dampen their fun,
and finally they put the clubs
sadly away and wandered off
from what had started out to be
