Defending Childhood -- Encouraging Children To Be Themselves.

Arnold, Johann Christoph

Child Care Information Exchange, n137 p35-37 Jan-Feb 2001

Suggests that society is increasingly hostile to youth, fixating on progress and success rather than treasuring children's genuineness and carefree innocence. Recommends giving children space to grow; becoming aware of what children say, think, and want; and discovering the limitations of goodness as a goal for child behavior. (DLH)
