Under pressure

de Carl Honoré

"In Under Pressure, Carl Honore looks into the changing world of parenting and childhood and asks whether we are going wrong in some fundamental way. With so much anxiety, are we not in danger of losing something precious from family life and the process of growing up?" "Of course, we cannot turn the clock back to a simpler age, so Honore takes us on a journey around the world in search of a new formula that will work in the 21st century. He sifts through the latest research and we hear from a range of experts as well as from those on the frontline - parents, teachers and children to find out precisely what problems they face and what may be the best solutions. In doing so, we discover how a new movement is encouraging us to slow down and trust our instincts, finding a natural balance between doing too much and too little."--BOOK JACKET.
