At my chapel, I see that practically every thought that comes out of the 9 and over girls mouth revolves around "Who is your crush?". Really? Traditional Catholic parents find this normal for girls that young or at any age?
In the world, I've been told many times by parents when their little children (4 to 10) are playing with mine in a park, "I think they found a new love". My answer is always the same, "no such thought enters the mind of little children unless adults keep hammering it into their minds. Let them be children while they are children, the time of innocence is short enough as is".
Now, I see the same stupidity among so-called traditionalists parents and teachers, their little girls only talking about "their crush"? Where do they learn these stupidities, on TV? The parents think this is normal? What blind guides. I pity the future of these girls who are already acting boy crazy at such a young age.
On the other hand, I see the same age boys all get along with each other and all doing boy things with no interest in girls whatsoever. That is good to see.
