Why in some parts of the world do parents rarely play with their
babies and never with toddlers? Why in some cultures are children
not fully recognized as individuals until they are older? How are
routine habits of etiquette and hygiene taught - or not - to
children in other societies? Drawing on a lifetime's experience as
an anthropologist, David F. Lancy takes us on a journey across the
globe to show how children are raised differently in different
cultures. Intriguing, and sometimes shocking, his discoveries
demonstrate that our ideas about children are recent, untested, and
often contrast starkly with those in other parts of the world.
Lancy argues that we are, by historical standards, guilty of
over-parenting, and of micro-managing our children's lives.
Challenging many of our accepted truths, his book will encourage
parents to think differently about children, and by doing so to
feel more relaxed about their own parenting skills.
