<< I think that what Kathy Dettwyler shared is extremely relevant and not to
be dismissed. I have heard that there are some African peoples who
believe that Americans don't like children because of the many ways that
we detach ourselves from our children so quickly, rushing the stages of
infancy and childhood. I understand the need to balance everyone's needs
in the home, especially in our very demanding, inflexible nuclear family
units, but I hate the biased way in which we tend to view needs.
