A Primer For Those Who Care About Children
by James Kimmel, Ph.D.
'A society that is not responsible to its children, that does not provide them with what they need, will breed a population of asocial and anti-social individuals. Even more destructive to children, in terms of their individual mental health, is a society that pretends to be responsible to its children, when it is not. Its children will not even know what they need. They will be alienated from their human requirement of nurturing.'
