Frantic boomers, unable to figure out what they have done wrong, ask “Why can’t kids be like we were?” and particularly “What can we do to change this?” In this straight-talking, mind-bending new book, Kathleen McDonnell warns us that we can’t go back to that time when grown-ups and kids knew their place. McDonnell argues that it’s a different world, and the old rules simply don’t apply. Chapter titles and subjects covered include: Madame de Sade’s House of Total Disclosure, The Walled Garden of Childhood, March of the Tweens, The Great Parenting Debate, sex, violence, computers and the Internet, and raising kids in the global village.
