'Engagingly written and filled with interesting detail' SUNDAY
TIMES A revealing portrait of how families are struggling to cope
with the changing world of parenting and childhood, plus new
solutions The parent screaming from the touchline at an
eight-year-old to make an overlapping run; the pregnant mother
playing Mozart to her unborn baby; the rigid schedule for babies,
which develops into an agenda of activities for a young child - all
these are familiar instances of hyper-parenting. With the pressure
growing all the time for children to get into the best schools and
universities, or to develop their nascent talents and become the
next Tiger Woods or Williams sister, it has never been more
difficult to be a child. In Carl Honore's brilliant follow-up to IN
PRAISE OF SLOW he makes an impassioned call for parents and
teachers to allow children to grow up at a slower rate. He takes us
on a journey round the world in search of a new formula for
parenting and childhood. He talks to a range of experts and sifts
through the latest research to find what problems parents, teachers
and children face, and to seek out the best solutions. Honore shows
how 'slow parenting' will benefit both the child and the parents,
and ensure that we create happier children and calmer parents.
