This page has been viewed 53038 times | hello old hippy,
I have a daughter who is 9 years old and she is totally into anything to do with being
hippy, except the drugs.(I hope)
she is now wanting to do her bedroom up with beads,flowers,black lights, poster,etc...
she is only nine years old and i don't want to discourage her from being an individual,
but i don't want to encourage her to go totally crazy either.
i've enjoyed my time being "hippy".been there,done that...still am in ways....
so....should i go ahead and encourage her to follow "her"passion or should i encourage my ways???
i don't know how to handle this ..
any help is appreciated..
signed,
help with little hippy...........
It's somewhat of a craze these days to do the room up and to dress up as a hippie. Don't let it bother you, since your daughter is too young to understand much, other than that it's the current fashion. Of course you should encourage her to follow your ways (the parental prerogative), but that is a different matter.
Just remember there are far worse things to be than a hippie!
Peace,
The Old Hippy
| Suggested Reading Living
on The Earth by Alicia Bay Laurel.
The
early '70s was a time of great optimism (and despair in true Dickens fashion).
Everywhere people were experimenting with alternative lifestyles, leaving
the cities and heading back-to-nature. Communes were popping up all over
and those returning to the land had to learn fast the art of survival.
With impeccable timing and the feeling that a guide to this new/old way
of life was needed, Alicia Bay Laurel wrote "Living on The Earth", an invaluable
resource for those seeking to live in harmony with Mother Nature. Read Skip's Review! |
