It seems society – and especially our children’s educational system – delays or outright avoids a number of important, if not crucial, educational aspects of youths’ lives.
If society wants well-functioning youth – and eventually healthy adults – we need to establish a progressive governmental act that would see high school education curriculum including mandatory courses on child psychology and rearing that would commence in, perhaps, Grade 11.
Unfortunately, many refuse to think before they act and are procreating without enough time available to spend with their young offspring, as well as without enough appropriate child-rearing knowledge. Thus, dysfunctional offspring – and perhaps future bullies, racists and even violent criminals – are being created.
Such education should be instituted, especially when considering a child is vulnerable to dysfunctional thought processes in later years because of even a seemingly small flaw in rearing during his/her first six years of life.
