A Better World for Our Children Rebuilding American Family Values
Dr. Benjamin Spock now gives his guidance on strengthening families and instilling values. "A Better World for Our Children: Rebuilding American Family Values" empowers parents to influence the future of their children and provides specific activities families can do together to make a difference in their homes and neighborhoods. Dr. Spock believes that the seeds for many of society's problems are sown during childhood. He contends that we are putting too much pressure on children to succeed academically and athletically. These "superkids" are often coached to be fierce competitors, but as a side effect can be selfish, disrespectful, materialistic or downright rude. Spock feels that we must change our emphasis from getting ahead materially to raising children who want to help people, be kind to each other and are dedicated to service. -- From publisher's description.
