A Century of Raising Children
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the history of child rearing and family size over the course of the past century. One “authority” told parents in 1912 that children should not be kissed; Dr. Spock told us 50 years later that they should have no negative influence at all. So much has changed in the past several decades. We swung the pendulum too far away from austerity to in some cases total abdication of the responsibility of raising children. Too many today are allowed simply to grow up rather than being raised, but we seem to be gravitating to a more reasonable middle ground. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
