Society as a whole no longer has many of the protections that used to exist for children and adolescents, and indeed, is out to clutch them as consumers from birth. Last year I reviewed Maggie Hamilton's book, and recommended it to all parents of girls. It is a powerful book, one that serves to educate parents about the plight of our girls, and what we can expect to happen if nothing changes. As parents, it's time we started to join together and defend the sort of innocence that we had as children, instead of just accepting the 'mini-me' pseudo-adult culture our kids are absorbing. I'm watching with interest. Good on you Lenora, for being proactive. Our kids are worth it. :) - jodiemac Thu, 04 Feb 2010 00:02:52 +0100 http://www.newcastleschild.com.au/Stories/Stories/Saving-Childhood.php#comment-97 katepickle the documentary is on you tube :) - Eve Hall Tue, 02 Feb 2010 05:57:46 +0100 http://www.newcastleschild.com.au/Stories/Stories/Saving-Childhood.php#comment-96 As a mother of three (almost four) and an early childhood educator I find this topic really interesting. I'm so sorry I missed seeing the documentary on TV. I see my children affected by commercialism and consumerism despite feeling like I was somewhat on top of that sort of thing for my kids... obviously I'm not! Hoping to be able to find a copy of the DVD, as I think our local Babies and Birthing Group might be interested. Pity we are not local to you as I think your group sounds fabulous - good luck in the future. - katepickle Tue, 02 Feb 2010 01:58:11 +0100
