Does A Child Really Need A Deep Social Circle

The past is a good teacher. The “Past” has learn the errors, it is us that are the ones that are new. The past is the teacher, “if” we are willing to listen to those wise words of the sages.

In the case of children, many families of the past lived with their children, and many children didn’t ever go to a public school.

Many children lived in large families. Many of these children often learnt all they needed to know from their parents and the close circle of family and friends (often small) that visited the family.

Today we are attempting to push our young children into social groups at very young ages. But is it good for them? Maybe we need to look backwards instead of forwards as the modern social reformers would have us believe is the correct method to search for answers.

All the best from
