Review:
The book is at its best when it tackles different approaches to child rearing and education and confronts the reality of the ever more sophisticated methods used by the corporate sector to target under-age consumers (Fiona Millar THE GUARDIAN)

A fascinating take on a subject that involves us all and makes truly though-provoking reading (GOOD BOOK GUIDE)

Enjoyable and thought-provoking book (CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE NOW)

Carl Honore examines child-rearing attitudes and actions across the globe, sifting through motivations, behaviours and consequences of modern parenting methods, seeking a way forward to a new dawn when we can encourage our children to slow down, develop at their own pace and just act their age (DAILY RECORD)
Book Description:
The acclaimed author of the Sunday Times bestseller In Praise of Slow reveals how families are struggling to cope with the changing world of parenting and childhood, and offers some new solutions
