In the 1950s this was true, but in the 1990s it has evolved to a secularized phenomenon. Our family elders, and therefore we ourselves have not sufficiently recovered from the incorrect assumption that anything and everything is not okay about our bodies and minds. In the reverse of this, when we allow children to know no shame, we finally stop punishing them for being born. To stop a child from playing with unharmful toys or objects before he is through with them interferes with the natural development of the child. Let me explain why I believe this to be true.
Adults try to hush and still children when they threaten to overstep boundaries of consideration.
This practice is partially acceptable as the child desires some limits to his behavior, so he may feel confident and never fearful to speak or otherwise express himself. Parents sometimes fall short by not extending this consideration to include the children, not merely apply to the children. In a balanced home, no one person's rights are any more important than another's. We have the power and the responsibility to teach by example this valuable lesson. Parents can err either accidentally or intentionally.
