| In her latest book, Ships Without a Shore: America's Undernurtured Children, Anne R. Pierce takes a hard look at the emerging data on the effects of day care and the hyper-structuring if children's lives with endless activities. She analyzes our shifting moral-philosophical priorities and exposes the fractured condition of our familie. Pierce submits that today's child rearing in America may just spell the death of childhoood - the crucial state in human development. |
