“The frantic search of five-year-olds for friends can thus be seen to forecast the beginnings of a basic shift in the parent-childrelationship, a shift which will occur gradually over many long years, and in which a child needs not only the support of child allies engaged in the same struggle but also the understanding of his parents.” NeedsYearsChildrenLongParentUnderstandingSupportStruggleFiveFriendsEngagedFive YearsAlliesFive Year OldsFranticForecastsParent Child Author:Dorothy H Cohen
“Television programming for children need not be saccharine or insipid in order to give to violence its proper balance in the scheme of things.... But as an endless diet for the sake of excitement and sensation in stories whose plots are vehicles for killing and torture and little more, it is not healthy for young children. Unfamiliar as yet with the full story of human response, they are being misled when they are offered perversion before they have fully learned what is sound.” NeedsGivingHumansChildrenLittlesStoriesYoungOrderSoundViolenceTelevisionBalanceHealthyResponseKillingSakeEndlessDietsExcitementTortureProgrammingPlotSensationsVehicleSchemesUnfamiliarYoung ChildrenPerversionMisledInsipid Author:Dorothy H Cohen
