Opis

Childhood in America has changed, and not for the better. From daycare for babies, to the exhausting array of activities for children, to the storm of lurid and violent television shows now deemed appropriate for the young, to the expectation that teenagers build resumes, childhood has been thoroughly redefi ned. Anne R. Pierce argues that this radical redefi nition has been embraced with remarkably little discussion about what children, by nature, need.
