Publisher Notes: In Defense of Childhood
- The pressures of modern life are increasingly squeezing the adventure, the wonder, the physicality--the juice --out of children's lives. Virtually every arena of kids' experience is now subject to some form of outside control, and this is a serious threat to the unique spark that animates every child. Lamenting risk-averse parents, overstructured school days, and a lack of playtime and solitude, this book is a clear and compelling plea to save childhood.
"Mercogliano is, in effect, a cultural therapist . . . a purveyor of hope." --Mary Pipher, author of Reviving Ophelia
"With deep insight, Mercogliano shows . . . how we can help young people break through conventional restraints and pursue their passions. This is a beautiful, searching, and inspiring book." --William Crain, author of Reclaiming Childhood
"A very strong and attractive book." --John Taylor Gatto, author of Dumbing Us Down
"Mercogliano's book, full of insight, enthusiasm and hope, is as readable and practical as it is illuminating." --Publisher's Weekly
