<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In this 25th anniversary edition of his classic parenting guide, Dr. Elkind delivers important new commentary to put a quarter-century of trends and change into perspective for parents today. Includes a new Introduction by the author.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>David Elkind [is] one of psychology's leading lights.--<i>Washington Post</i></b> <p/>With the first edition of <i>The Hurried Child</i>, 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 they secretly yearn for time to act their age.<br>In the more than two decades since this book first appeared, our society has inadvertently stepped up the assault on childhood through the media, in schools, and at home. In this twenty-fifth anniversary edition of this classic, Dr. Elkind adds important new commentary to put a quarter century of trends and change into perspective for parents today, including a detailed, up-to-the-minute look at the Internet, classroom culture, school violence, and movies and television. Showing parents and teachers where hurrying occurs and why, Elkind offers insight, advice, and hope for encouraging healthy development while protecting the joy and freedom of childhood.<br><b>A landmark book.--<i>Chicago Sun-Times</i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b><i>Wall Street Journal</i>, 9/4</b><br> [The first book to] mourn the loss of play and leisure time [for kids]. <br> <b><i>Washington Post</i>, 11/5/09</b><br> Read <i>The Hurried Child</i> by psychologist David Elkind.
