"As
a parent, you may want your three year old to learn to read, but I
would rather have mine playing in his sandbox. You may want your eight
year old to have his nose buried in a math book before he turns out the
light at night; I would rather have mine reading Stuart Little.
You may want your ten year old to take the Saturday morning to be
tutored in academic subjects; I would rather mine be scuffling with his
neighborhood playmates.
"For in the mysterious phenomenon of becoming, there is a time for
things to take place. And if they do not take place when they should,
then the organizm seems doomed to reach out hungrily to satisfy that
need for as long as it lives. Real maturity is blocked, and the person
who was not allowed to be a child becomes a childish adult.
"Childhood is the time to live splendidly as a child, and if it is
denied we shall in the years to come, pay a very exacting price, for
one must drink deeply of childhood if he is to become a man."
