Too Much Protection Prevents Experience, Dr. Allen Reminds Parents should not conceal the realities of war from their children, but should help them to meet these realiieed Dr. Frederick H. Allen, on the Philadelphia Child passiee ever today told dele gates to the eighth annual Pan- American Child Congress meeting in the Pan-American Union Building. “The child learns from experience and not by being too protected from experiences that are a part of his reality,” the director of the Penn sylvania clinic told representatives of Latin and North American na tions meeting in the third day of the week-long session. Stressing that children need to have the natural privilege of their own reactions, Dr. Allen continued, “War conditions are a part of his reality. It comes to him on the radio, in the movies, in his conversa tion, * “ Actually it is unfair if we insist that the child feels he’ must be cloistered and kept apart from these forces that are part of everyone’s reality.” Overprotection of Late. In the last few decades there has been a tendency to overprotect our children, both in the family circle and in the community, he said. This trend, he thought, has counter acted some of the values of pro tective standards. Dr. Allen em phasized, however, that children should not be subject to danger just to let them have experiences. Dr. Robert Berro, director of the American International Institute for the Protection of Childhood in Uruguay, asserted that faith was more important than co-operation in child welfare movements. He disclosed that because Euro pean governments before the war published promptly and distributed widely their findings on child prob lems, such organizations in South America had to look to the continent for their precedents, America First Urged Now. “This should not be,” he declared “We should first learn the methods of the Americas—the accomplish ments of our own neighbors—then, if we have time, look to Europe” The two speakers were heard in the morning session presided over by Katherine Lenroot, chief of the Children’s Bureau of the Labor De partment.
