I have a simple question.
Whatever happened to the concept of allowing children to be children? It is the ONE brief period in everyone's life where life is simple and you are not trying to grasp adult problems and realities.
WHAT could possibly be bad about that?
Nothing, and we should let (little, especially) kids be kids. Life will smack them in the face all too soon, and any decent parent will be there to help guide them through that--which will be challenging enough without adding another seriously conflicting layer to all that.
