Summary
Suggests that, because parents are now more concerned with preparing children for life rather than protecting them from it, the concept of childhood has drastically changed
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Never in their worst fantasies did parents in the past imagine that their ten- or eleven-year-olds might smoke dope or get involved in sexual activity. Winn examines all elements of contemporary children's culture - television, children's books, magazines, games, and above all, the new attitudes of parents and other adults - with the same ability to seek out basic questions and examine them boldly and honestly that she displays in her other endeavors. The result is a book that will alarm and inform, that will be read with equal interest by conservatives and liberals, parents and professionals, and all those concerned with the future of our society.
