Hurried Childhood Essay

629 Words3 Pages

Hurried childhood is one of the current issues in Australian society. People are pushing childhood to adult age to be compatible with the growing demands of present society. There is no doubt about it that “being a kid just ain’t what it used to be” (New Internationalist, 2002). Children are expected to learn more than they are capable, which has given birth to hurried childhood. The purpose of this report is to discuss the impact of hurried childhood on children’s learning and development. Note that the children when rushed through their childhood to adult age, they miss the natural cycle and growth of nature and the results are catastrophic in terms of pre-mature adults and stressed and over-competitive children.

    In the journal article, Tim Gill wrote about the society and also about the safety of children playing outside affecting child’s growth. All the safety was design to prevent injuries and protect children but actually children are getting more fragile because of the overprotective adults. He even showed concrete evidence to support his statement. Playground becomes too safe that more broken limbs among children occur these days and they have more scars. In addition to restricted freedom, children change in attitude to take risk in society which means they are afraid to take any risk in what they are doing in real world.

  • Nonabused Children Essay

    761 Words  | 4 Pages

    Abused children often have trouble having their allegations collaborated as legal and social service investigations of abuse allegations contribute to inaccurate eyewitness accounts and false memories that make it difficult for the legal system to protect these vulnerable children (Goodman, et al., 2001). Clinicians find it hard to classify abused from nonabused children due to a lack of a psychological profile for abused children (Kendall-Tackett, Williams, & Finkelhor, 1993). When there are no other witnesses to corroborate children’s accounts, investigators often employ suggestive interviewing techniques that sometimes shape children’s false memories that build the investigators’ reports (Krackow & Lynn, 2003). Some research has found that nonabused children

    The poems Childhood, by Margaret Walker, Father, by Edgar Albert Guest, and History Lesson,by Natasha Trethewey, all contain a similar aspect, which is that the narrators are looking back on parts of their childhood and remembering how their lives were never perfect. Childhood’s narrator looks back on a past where everyone around them was poor and generally had to mine to survive. We know this because of the first 6 lines, talking about the red miners. We also know that it was a rural area, given the 7th and 8th lines. Such a past seems pretty bleak for everyone who lived there.

What happens during these early years has lifelong effects on many aspects of health and wellbeing- from obesity, heart diseases and mental health to the educational achievement to economic status. ” Wellbeing may normally refer to physical as well as mental state in which development of both aspects of children is satisfactory (Allen et al, 2011). Wellbeing is a broad concept that includes medical as well as social element in defining children`s heath at the early years of their life.

    When the full extent of the Holocaust became known after the end of World War II, the thought that its horror was too monstrous to write about in the fictional forms slipped into the conversations of intellectuals. Fiction implies maneuvers which seem trivial and inappropriate in the context of unprecedented. Putting the point simply, it is impossible to think of a novel that conveys the full effect of the Nazi genocide. The works such as Anne Frank's diary, Schindler's List, etc. are all factual. This renders a book like The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas ridiculous.
