Yesterday I watched a couple of programs on one of our local community college TV channels, about childraising. Most of the scenes were of healthy children and healthy childraisers. It struck me how different this was than my own upbringing. And comparing those TV programs to others that were on at the same time, by channel surfing, really brought home to me the effects of childhood care on especially really young children. It explains so much of what is on TV and in the news these days. Seeing how much can be explained by imaging adult behavior as the squabbles and hostilities of children raised in unsupportive family conditions!
