Talk:Childlore

Comment
"Opie and Opie demonstrate that the culture of children is quite distinctive and is as unnoticed by the sophisticated world, and quite as little affected by it, as is the culture of some dwindling aboriginal tribe living out its helpless existence in the hinterland of a native reserve." -- Referring to aboriginals as having a "helpless existence" is very editorial (and rather racist). If it is, as I'm assuming, a direct quote from the source, it should be called out as a quote, not stated inline as a fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.255.1.195 (talk) 09:20, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree. Unfortunately, although I have the Opie's books, I do not have the Grider, so this may take some time for me to track down the quote.--''' SabreBD  (talk ) 10:01, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Narrow Focus
This article seems problematic; the intro names several different topics within the field of child lore yet the only one that the article discusses is nursery rhymes. This article just reads like a report on nursery rhymes; can we fix this? Maybe add sections on playground games, modern adaptions of nursery rhymes, and activities like the “Cheese Touch” which I’m sure is a category with an actual name, I just don’t know the term for it.
