Description

Parenthood, we are told, requires a massive adjustment to our lives, emotions, and relationships, and we have to be taught how to deal with that.

But can it really be so bad that we need constant counselling and parenting classes?

It is a myth that today's parents are hopeless and lazy: in many ways, we have become too diligent, too hopeful of great outcomes and clear rewards, to the point where we lose ourselves in trying to provide some kind of professional service to our children.

The current obsession with perfect parenting increases our insecurity and distrust of each other, and diminishes our authority over our kids.

This book is about asking: Why have we invited Supernanny into our living rooms - and how can we kick her out?
