That has been true since WWII. We had little and wanted our children to have more. They did the same. Some grandchildren used drugs and one died as a result. Our adult children are professionals - raised w/retarded sibling - and I never read to them! Go figure. Yesterday’s luxuries became today’s necessities. That has been true since WWII.

The basics are simple, if you ask me: 1. Know the difference between being child-like and child-<em>ish.</em> 2. Keeping the child alive within you is fun and makes life more pleasant. Just make sure that it's the grown-up within you that presides. 3. The easiest and best way to keep your childhood memories fresh and innocent is to keep them seperate from your adult life, and the easiest way to do that is to grow up. It seems to me that if you live by those rules and recognize those simple facts, the rest takes care of itself. Getting others to stop acting like children is easy: make fun of them. No kid likes to be mocked out. This can get overcomplicated and make postive action more difficult. The basics are simple, if you ask me:
