|  | Spoiling Childhood by Diane Ehrensaft, Lillian B. Rubin
Vividly encapsulating the absurdities, heartbreaks, and possibilities of contemporary child rearing, this book shows how parents today are all too often caught up in a guilt-driven pendulum swing between parenting too little and parenting too much. Chronically pressed for time yet anxious to help our children succeed, mindful of our children's autonomy yet fearfull of losing their love, our culture has created a new kind of child -- the kinderdult, half miniature adult, half innocent cherub -- whose new set of problems includes pseudomaturity, infantile behavior, a divided sense of self, and chronic anxiety.
