Let Kids be Kids

[Tyrfingr]

Parenting as i recall was never as neurotic as i tend to witness specifically in todays America. From what i remember as a child. I was taught necessities for the most part in school. Whilst i was tuaght morality, justice and attitude at home, wrongdoings was dealth with by persuation and patience. We all had more unstructured time than structured, and we didn't have choirs. Looking back at things i would say that it was the ideal and perfect conditions to grow up around. And im truly happy and thankful for my childhood. The unconditional love and support far more outweighs whatever knowledge that was dealt in any other area. Knowledge and intelligence/intellect i think is best stimulated by play and most of all by the environment, freedom and not being weighed down with responsibilities in absurdum. Pressure and parents wishes for a certain future of their child is far more damaging and hinders development.

Children are exposed to so much more now than they were when I was growing up and they are learning a lot more a lot faster. If it shows anything, it shows how absorbant the human mind is at a young age. Our children will let us know when they are ready for more. It's our responsibility as parents to know our children and provide what they need whether intellectually, physically or emotionally.
