Honey, We Lost the Kids

Re-thinking childhood in the multimedia age

by Kathleen McDonnell

tagged: cultural
Description

Remember when children grew up in well-defined stages? Adults tried to keep whole areas of life hidden from them – death, bad language, and, of course, sex. In this straight-talking book, Kathleen McDonnell warns us that we can’t go back to that time when grown-ups and kids knew their place.

What McDonnell brings to the child-rearing debate is the fresh air of perspective, a willingness to challenge easy assumptions, a raised eyebrow for the knee-jerk, and a keen ear for cant.
