Our responsibility to protect early learning

    News

Eric Clark's prescient article on toy marketing (Special Report, 15 March) admirably continues the growing global movement against the crass commercialisation of childhood recently highlighted by the 'Compass' report. These pernicious trends are surely substantially responsible for the premature 'adultisation' of children and the profane degradation of childhood, which are blighting the current generation of children. Britain's shocking performance in the recent Unicef report of children's well-being is perhaps the most dramatic symptom of this modern malaise. Especially relevant to early childhood workers is Clark's informed challenge to the technologising of early learning. Early learning is far more effective and appropriate when experienced in real (not 'virtual') human relationships; and it is now clear from Dr Aric Sigman's recent research report that televisual technologies damage young children at many different levels u neurologically, socially, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. We all have a grave responsibility, as parents, professionals and policy-makers, to inform ourselves about the profound harm that this poisonous materialistic culture is doing to young children, and to protect them from its most toxic excesses.

Why children need to chatter is explored by Di Chilvers, senior lecturer in Early Childhood Studies When was the last time that you had an extended, informal and relaxed conversation with the young children around you? A conversation where you let the child decide on the subject and you followed their lead, listening intently, nodding, making positive eye contact and holding back your questions? I hope it was recently and that it is a regular part of your everyday chatter with children.
