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. photo by Doerr MR.

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
