20210405 : Growing up fast

I was chatting with my friend this morning and the subject of kids growing up too fast came up. More importantly kids instead of enjoying their childhood longer, wanting to grow up faster, earn faster, etc. Basically be independent faster... I think it's us adults to blame. In every instance, when we have to deny them something, we tell them they are not old enough to do things, they can do it when they earn their own money, they can do as they please after they are adults, till then they have to listen.. I think it puts a subconscious craving to do things to feel grown up... I think we should be more creative and less practical in our responses, to feed their childhood imagination more and adulthood practicality less. So when do we stop feeding crazy stuff... I don't know. I feel at some stage they will automatically start rejecting these crazy ideas and start probing us for the real thing... That's when i think we know that they are ready for practical answers.. PS: For
