Child Marriage: Growing up Too Soon

Over the next decade, over 100 million girls in developing countries will be forced to completely marry a stranger. All these people will be taken away from their home, afraid to know that they will be placed in their lives. They must not leave their loved ones, but also leave their human race. As some countries do, many people will ignore them if the law is enforced to prohibit this kind of living for young girls. Despite the abuse of child marriage, the unwanted pregnancy, and the lack of poverty in the people of developing countries, organizations and insurgencies have little impact.

A very straightforward person on this trend is David Elkind, a professor of pupils who is a senior resident scholar at Tufts University and is the author of "Rapidly Children, Rapidly Growing, Too Quick" (1988) . He said: "Our society is increasingly compressing childhood in places where children are not children." "When children have no opportunity to develop emotional maturity, they are" mature " "We are facing a great pressure on growth and growth." This is not just a trend in the United States, it is a trend for the developed countries as a whole, including Europe, Canada, Australia, Japan and the UK.

Administrators and teachers often refer to David Elkind's book "Hurry Kids: Growing Fast". We are not allowed to grow faster than children are preparing, but it is equally true that they should not retreat from their educational opportunities. Child development and preparation can not be done only by the actual age. Elkind strongly supports the return of talented children. Because he does not support "promoting children". What happens when a wise talented child is promoted to one or more grade? Of course, it is not the level of children's intellectual development - after all, this is the reason for his or her promotion! Acceleration is the progress the child accomplished in the school curriculum. However, this can be seen in various ways and is not accelerated enough to adjust.

Ironically, the biggest mistake young people commit today is that they grow too fast, that is to say they are too young, to work full-time, and to kids to be too early. A half century ago, meaningful advice as you join the company when you are growing young and gradually - it is no longer applicable to completely different labor markets. In contrast, long-term education, internships and other efforts to create resumes have been successful. Of course, young people who benefit most from adult lag are from wealthy families who can feed offspring in their twenties. These people in their twenties can best use these years as a period of self discovery, exploration and personal growth.
