In looking at matters of children, the mistake we often make is looking at them with the eye of an adult. The result of this is seeing things that children need and enjoy as boring, useless and a waste of time. There is oftentimes a temptation to ignore looking at playing with the eyes of children.
Traditionally, parents and guardians have moral responsibilities to support, protect, provide for, and correct the children under their care, with the goal of helping them develop healthily into their adulthood. This ideal is still in place, though in practice it lingers delicately, as parenting generally becomes more and more lenient by the day.
