Elkind David - The Hurried Child 25th Anniversary Edition - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: With the first edition of The Hurried Child David Elkind emerged as the voice of parenting reason calling our attention to the crippling effects of hurrying our children through life. He showed that by blurring the boundaries of what is age appropriate by expecting - or imposing - too much too soon we force our kids to grow up too fast to mimic adult sophistication while secretly yearning for innocence. In the more than two decades since this book first appeared new generations of parents have inadvertently stepped up the assault on childhood in the media in schools and at home. In the third edition of this classic (2001) Dr. Elkind provided a detailed up - to - the - minute look at the Internet classroom culture school violence movies television and a growing societal incivility to show parents and teachers where hurrying occurs and why. And as before he offered parents and teachers insight advice and hope for encouraging healthy development while protecting the joy and freedom of childhood. In this twenty - fifth anniversary edition of the book Dr. Elkind delivers important new commentary to put a quarter century of trends and change into perspective for parents today.
