Parents on the Run

A Commonsense Book for Today's Parents lends an earful and lashes out at laissez-faire upbringing and the child-centered home as obstructions to independent growth of the child. There is a plea for equal rights, a pay as you go justice and parents are urged to face all sorts of behavior from aggression to withdrawal. A pep talk at times mistaking vituperation for vigor but nevertheless meaningful for a certain type of parent. (Kirkus Reviews)
