"Don't Treat Me Like a Child" is the 1961 debut single of then fourteen-year-old Helen Shapiro, and was written by John Schroeder and Mike Hawker. The song was recorded at Abbey Road, with a nine piece band under the direction of Martin Slavin.

After Helen's appearance on the ITV musical program Thank Your Lucky Stars, the record took off and reached a peak position of No. 3 in the UK charts, as well as being relatively well received in the rest of Europe.
