Childhood isolated
psychologist says
"Childhood has been is-
olated from the world of
adults," atTording to Dr.
Donald Morgenson, a pro-
minent psycholgist who pres-
ented a professional activity
lecture at the Clinton Public
School last week. About 150
elementary teachers and par-
ents attended the one hour
presentation, scheduled by
the teachers as an introduc-
tion to "Year of the Child
Week", Oct. 22-26.
"The growth of science
and technology, " according •
to Dr. Morgenson, "has
created an isolation for child-
ren." He went on to explaiti
how the complex demands of
today's society have placed a
barrier between adults and
children. He cited examples
of adult-child relationships
throughout the last five
centuries to make his point.
"Children must have time
to dream, and time to
imagine," he stated. Part of
the rationale for the seeming
"unreason" of youth today is
related to demands of child-
hood that have eliminated
much of the fantasy and
playful imagination of young-
sters. He commended the
rural environment of Huron
County as being one of the
non-urban spaces where kids
can still experience advent-
ure and fantasy. He sug-
gested that families could
share many positive exper-
iences in the "wasteland"
(wilderness) areas with child-
ren, and urged that more'
"family" activity occur
where adults and children
could share experiences to-
gether.
In his presentation, Dr.
Morgenson (related anecdote
after anecdote to illustrate
his talk. The presentation
was described as humourous
entertaining, dynamic and
thought-provoking by those
who attended.
The Morgenson lecture
was sponsored by the Pro-
fessional Activity Committee
for the elementary teachers
of Huron County. Atten-
dance at the evening pre-
sentation was voluntary, but
represented close to one-
third of the elementary staff
of Huron County Schools.
