I Think Children Should Be Able To Enjoy Their Childhood

I so agree with this, my daughter is quite young for her age and Im trying to give her the space and security she needs to grow up at her own pace.
The pressure she comes under 'to grow up' is really unfair because everyone is different with different needs

I just like to point out that the leisurely stroll to adulthood paradigm for child care is a relatively new concept in history of humankind, not even a hundred years old yet. Before that time you were expected to actually participate in your household and in maintaining it. There were chores, jobs to be done. Lives depended on it. They still do to this day, we've chosen for some reason to remove the imperative of our children to participate in their future and the building of it.
