"E.D. Hirsch doesn't agree with his theories so it is nice to read an opposing view. I had started reading this before starting "Schools we need". I am somewhere between both theories. Still good to read for the contrast."
"Although dated and written mostly to parents. I appreciated the celebration of childhood Elkind shared. I'd like to continue my readings on this topic."
"I had started work. I felt terrible about that choice but there was no other way we could make it. I had to take some classes to update my teaching certificate. This was one of the books that they suggested to read.
I learned that when parents get too busy and stressed, the children become stereotyped instead of individuals.
Being aware of this as a possibility for me, I tryed really hard to be a great mommy.
There were other great lessons about girls looking for boyfriends because they were looking for love.
As the mom of preteens. This was a bit of a wake up call for what was soon to be a part of my life."
"I thought this book was great. I did not read every word but will keep it on my shelf as a great reference. I do believe that our American culture hurries children. It started out with really good historical facts about our country, school systems and communities. It was good to read about why and how things have evolved in the way that they have. It also had a great list of stresses in a childs life and how to deal with them."
