Childhood Importance James Bernard Murphy, a professor of government at Dartmouth College and Author of “In Defense of Being a Kid”, emphasizes the importance of innocence and enjoyment of childhood years. This underlined the question, are children’s childhood adventures and care-free life more important than the preparation of our children’s future by the work of us parents? I’m sure all of us can debate this question. Murphy argues with Amy Chua, Author of “Why Mothers Are Superior” that children should enjoy their years as a child.
