These problems are acted out in adolescence through promiscuity, substance abuse, and delinquency widespread problems. Though there are many factors in these difficult problems, it seems that children and young people are experiencing more stress today than ever by Kathy Riggs USU Extension Home Economist If it seems to you that children are having more problems t Dr. Thomas R. Lee, USU Extension family and human development specialist, says the most basic sources of the increased stress on children have arisen because of pressure from the media, schools, and often parents for children to hurry and grow up. Because there is so much to learn and the world is so competitive, Dr. Lee says we may think we have to start earlier than ever to get our children ready.

They thought that if COME-BACK-CU- P they were paying the minimum monthly payments on all their credit cards, they must be keeping up. This brings up an interesting concept: Buying by the month. Just about any product over the price of $100 is advertised not by its total price, but rather by its price per month. Even some magazine subscriptions advertise that they can be paid for in three easy installments. According to Dr. Norleen Ackerman, Extension consumer educator at Utah State University, consumers are protected, but they have to dig to find all the information. Advertisements must disclose down payments, terms of the agreement, and annual percentage rate. You usually will find thia information in fine print next to the asterisk at the bottom of the page.

He also goes so far as to suggest the use of school uniforms for elementary aged children to eliminate the clothes consciousness that begins so early. Some parents may need to reevaluate their motives for encouraging their children to excel at early ages. Some parents are trying to meet their own needs for success through their children. But children are not status symbols for parents to dress in designer clothes and parade around at recitals. This places a currence.

The topic is Whos in a greenhouse and force to bloom early with extra light and nutrients. But Dr. Lee warns that trying to hurry a childs development overlooks the fact that children learn best how to be creative, how to entertain themselves, and how to think something through on their own, when they are allowed to explore things at their own pace. Even though a child can leam to dance younger or play the violin sooner, there still is an inter nal clock that cannot be hurried. It determines emotional, social, and intellectual maturity. As parents and society move down the ages allowing young people to wear makeup, go to dances, or on dates, or drive the family car after dark, they place children in situations for which they are not yet emotionally ready. In the past, societies had more formal rites of passage that denoted maturity. Things like barmitzvahs, confirmations, or graduations are some examples that still exist today but have lost some of their meaning.
