Time To Grow Up By Rodney Howard Browne
Rodney Howard Browne teaches us to be mature. That is the only real way to explain my infancy. Listen, I went to school barefoot, and I was still playing children’s games into highschool. Life was permitted to run its own course back then. There’s a new child in our town streets. Music, books, films, and TV increasingly portray the young as precocious and seductive. Such portrayals force children to assume they should act grown up before they’re ready.
Rodney Howard Browne discusses on child development. Feelings are the most intricate and complicated part of a kid’s development. They have their own timing and rhythm, which can’t be hurried. Growing up is hard enough with no one pushing. Am I overreacting to proffer the unique traumas among today’s children are somehow tied to all this? Younger alcoholics.
Rodney Howard Browne talks about the high suicide rate. And the record high suicide rate among children and teens is definitely telling us something. If nothing else, at least for those youngsters, it’s informing us we are reacting too late. Scripture obviously states, “There is an appointed time for everything” ( Eccles. What about time to be a child? What about time to reach adulthood slowly, carefully yes, even protected, naive? Otherwise, it is too far, too quickly, too shortly.
