Children as young as four have to earn their own living as well as supporting their families. We have spoken to the internationally leading and England’s only child expert and he tells us about his newly discovered unveilings.**
 * The condition of today's terrible child labour policy are getting even worse!

In today's society it is perfectly normal to send your kids out to do hard work all day long. Children as young as four work as long as 14 hours a day, with few breaks and possibilities for rest. Since people do not see this as an issue, it has never been set doubts to using and offering this kind of working power. But Ian Miller, the internationally leading and England’s only child expert warns both the parents that rent out their children and the employers that offer the children jobs. Working under such bad conditions can be very destructive to both the child’s mental and physical health. A fresh study done by himself tells us anything but what poor and needing people, as well as factories and workhouses want to hear. Children shouldn’t work when they are younger than 12. Even when they are 12 they should not work longer than maximum 6 hours per day. Through his study Miller also found that children are in a growing period and need as much sleep and food as possible. Healthy and nutrient-rich food, and at least 10 hours of sleep a night is Millers recommendation.

The children often do the hard and dangerous jobs, such as chimney sweeping, mine working etc. As said they work as long as 14 hours a day, with few or non breaks for resting and eating. Since they are not allowed breaks the risk of accidents therefore increases considerably. Since children are such small persons they need a lot of rest as well as being in activity. Miller claims that the parents need to find a balance point between these two. He adds that activity is not necessarily working, playing is actually far more healthy for the children both mentally and physically. Miller bases these claims on his internationally approved study. This study also shockingly enough says that playing in the right ways will help children develop in more positive ways than if they are working. Quoting Miller: “Let the children be children as long as they can. Todays society requires for everybody to grow up all too quickly, when what we should do is being a little bit more childish. That way people would stop worrying about stupid things and quit being so miserable! Have you ever seen a 3 year old worrying about taxes?”

While talking to such an expert we took the opportunity to ask him if he could give struggling parents some tips when it comes to parenting and daily routines. He says that all you need as a parent (rich or poor) is to follow his three tips to termination as he calls it. Because this is according to Miller exactly what you will do, terminate your child’s bad behaviour.

Milers three tips to termination: 1. Stick to your boundaries. Do not let your child rule the house. 2. Respect your child and talk to him/her in a positive and equal tone. Do not talk degrading to him/her 3. Loosen up a little bit, and involve children in what is happening in the family. Do not try to hide them from the truth. The reason is simple: Children can sense the tense.
