Clean & unmarked, light cover edgewear, light crease down front, tight and square glued binding. David Elking brings to light and to our attention the fact ot today's world in which children need to cope, to succeed, and to win, experiencing as much stress on them as any adult experiences. Unlike the previous generation, who were raised with less disciplne (generally) , the children of the eighties are the hurried children (and certainly those since then): forced to achieve more, earlier, than any other generation; outfitted in designer jeans and a whole array of adult costumes and faced with divorce and single-parent families--where is their childhood,with constant fears of failure. And parents increasingly look to a child to escape from the despair of despair, role conflict, job dissatisfaction. David Eklind explores these unique burdens of childhood and offers insights, advice, and hope for solving those problems. 210 pages.6.25 x 9.25 inches.
