THE PLAY

Life is undulant and parenting and the relationship of the adult world with children has been changing over history. In our current modern society it seems to us that the child has reached maximum privilege, which is comparable to the treatment received by a Very Important Person (V.I.P). Paradoxically, the well-meaning attitude of parents, whether by complex or by a desire to provide their children with the comforts of life that they did not have, draws the child perilously towards becoming an impossible being with delusions of a little tyrant. We wonder if whether with so much pampering we are not sowing the seeds of a little monster.

VIP, presented with an air of ceremony, endeavours to reflect on our society that behaves itself in such an acquiescent manner with its kids.
