| There’s
hope for childhood. Despite a perfect storm of hostile forces that are
robbing children of a healthy childhood, courageous parents and teachers who
know what’s best for children are turning the tide. Johann Christoph Arnold,
whose books on education, parenting, and relationships have helped more
than a million readers through life’s challenges, draws on the stories and
voices of parents and educators on the ground, and a wealth of personal
experience. He surveys the drastic changes in the lives of children, but also
the groundswell of grassroots advocacy and action that he believes will lead
to the triumph of common sense and time-tested wisdom. Arnold takes on
technology, standardized testing, overstimulation, academic pressure,
marketing to children, over-diagnosis and much more, calling on everyone who
loves children to combat these threats to childhood and find creative ways to
help children flourish. Every parent, teacher, and childcare provider has the
power to make a difference, by giving children time to play, access to
nature, and personal attention, and most of all, by defending their right to
remain children. |
