Children Without Borders. How Modern Parenting Breaks Children

“Children Without Borders. How Modern Parenting Breaks Children” — this is a book that parents who have raised “special” children will not want to read. Emily Hartford ruthlessly exposes the myths of new parenting, where every child’s capricious “I don’t want to” turns into a diagnosis, and natural difficulties of growing up become a reason for therapy. Why do children, surrounded by care, protected from stress, and sheltered from the slightest problems, grow up anxious, dependent, and unable to cope with real life? How did it happen that a generation raised without punishment and strict rules is mass declaring “psychological trauma” and fears growing up? This book is a challenge to parents, educators, and “childhood experts.” It is about how we are turning our children into helpless hostages of comfort, and why it is time to say “no” to parenting that makes them weak.
