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.
