The real trouble with day care The furious child problem Why Dick and Jane are fat The mental health catastrophe Wonder drugs and double standards ; "Ozzie and Harriet, come back!" : the primal scream of teenage music The ravages of "responsible" teenage sex Specialty boarding schools, tough love or ultimate outsourcing? ; Conclusion: Beyond the blame game.
The author reopens the politically incorrect question of just how much children need their parents, especially their mothers. She contends that absent parents--and children who feel like just another chore to be outsourced--are the common denominator of recent epidemics among young people, including obesity, STDs, behavioral problems such as attention deficit disorder, and the use of psychiatric medication in even very young children; and asks whether this trend has already reached a tipping point in American society.
