Description
Episode Description
Respecting and responding to the needs of young children is the focus of this episode. Family Counselor Eda LeShan and some parents of preschoolers describe the joys of sharing a young childs first look at the world and the dangers of overprotectiveness in this first part of the two-program series on children between the ages of two and five. The sharing puts you in touch with something deep inside of yourself that is the child, Mrs. LeShan encourages. Other issues touched upon in this free give-and-take on the joys and traumas of being a parent of a two and five year old are shyness, expressing anger, fright, vulnerability, and discipline. The parents agree that, over all, before they can treat their own children as real people they must come to terms with themselves as human beings.
