He showed that by blurring the boundaries of what is age appropriate, by expecting--or imposing--too much too soon, we force our kids to grow up too fast, to mimic adult sophistication while they secretly yearn for time to act their age.\u003cbr\u003eIn the more than two decades since this book first appeared, our society has inadvertently stepped up the assault on childhood through the media, in schools, and at home. In this twenty-fifth anniversary edition of this classic, Dr. Elkind adds important new commentary to put a quarter century of trends and change into perspective for parents today, including a detailed, up-to-the-minute look at the Internet, classroom culture, school violence, and movies and television. Showing parents and teachers where hurrying occurs and why, Elkind offers insight, advice, and hope for encouraging healthy development while protecting the joy and freedom of childhood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"A landmark book.\"--\u003ci\u003eChicago Sun-Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Elkind\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 073821082X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738210827\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Da Capo Lifelong Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/26\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.28h x 6.36w x 0.73d","brand":"David Elkind","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44052081115391,"sku":"9780738210827","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f98cae7e-90af-4a70-9622-ebbff25a7bcd.jpg?v=1685016848","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-hurried-child-25th-anniversary-david-elkind-9780738210827","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
