They grow up shockingly fast, however for the child its way too slow! In most cases I don't think kids grow up too fast... but in some cases they do.

yes, my avatar picture at the moment is of my eldest who is 2 years 2 months now. that's her in the special care nursery humidicrib, as she was a premmie baby. that only felt like yesterday, and i have had a second who is just 6 months, wow.

I believe, it depends on the child and the circumstances from where they came from. I have seen many children whose ages and mental awareness are above and below what they should be. It is sad that some children have to lose their childhood, while others are not allowed to grow to their expected levels. But as an average society, yes, too many are growing up too fast.

Ooooh yeah! Years ago when I was growing up there was no TV; We didn't know what everybody else outside our neighbourhood was doing, so we were happy doing our own thing. Now kids are exposed to so much advertising, programming etc that they know exactly what is going on elsewhere and they question why their life isn't like that. My granddaughter is almost 4, can hold an intelligent conversation and has opinions on a wide range of subjects. She has had an unconventional upbringing - I'm not sure if her personality has been moulded because of or in spite of this fact - and appears to have a maturity beyond her years, which I find a little sad. I guess I really am old fashioned....when she insists she's a big girl now I insist that she is still nanny's baby and we have a good girly giggle about it, but I wish I could keep her as she is now for a lot longer. It is a hard world out there and I don't want to expose her to it any sooner than I can help, but it's like she's a runaway train and can't get there fast enough!

Way too fast, my oldest is now 2 and a bit and it feeld like only months not years.

Yes they do, my youngest daughter is now 5 and it only seems like yesterday when she was a new-born baby. I would love for her to stay the age she is now-she is such good company.

I think most children would grow up at a normal rate if raised in a healthy environment. I think it is up to us to create such an environment for the younger generation: one that shelters them from things that would rob them of their childhood and innocence too early, while still allowing them to experience life. As a side note: I agree that it can seem fleeting when we watch children we love grow up... that's why it's important to take the time to appreciate all the time we have with them.
-
Yes I think they grow up much quicker than we wish but slower than they desire. I regret the fact that a lot of childhood is ruined by the fact that in the attempt to keep them safe and to make them safety aware we have to deprive them of a lot of what would have been childhood innocence.

This video elements exactly how media alters kids growing up too fast.
-
That depends on what you mean by growing up. They lose their innocence to quickly, yet quite a few never seem to learn responsibility for their lives and actions. It creates quite a dangerous society that is not a pleasant place for anyone.
