Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2 MB
Overview: How American childhood and parenting have changed from the nation’s founding to the present
The End of American Childhood takes a sweeping look at the history of American childhood and parenting, from the nation’s founding to the present day. Renowned historian Paula Fass shows how, since the beginning of the American republic, independence, self-definition, and individual success have informed Americans’ attitudes toward children. But as parents today hover over every detail of their children’s lives, are the qualities that once made American childhood special still desired or possible? Placing the experiences of children and parents against the backdrop of social, political, and cultural shifts, Fass challenges Americans to reconnect with the beliefs that set the American understanding of childhood apart from the rest of the world.
