Parenting in a Hostile Culture: How to Survive with Your Family Intact

0/5 ( ratings)

In her newest book, "Parenting in a Hostile Culture: How to Survive with Your Family Intact," psychologist Sharna Olfman puts responsibility for raising children where it belongs: with their parents. Top-down solutions, she explains, need to be invigorated by parents' efforts to raise children who will grow up with the heart, wisdom, and will to build strong and loving communities that embrace diversity and respect nature.

This far-reaching and important book exposes threats facing today's child, including weak public policies; unregulated media; relentless marketing of products that damage children's health; environmental threats; and school reforms that are profoundly insensitive to children's developmental needs and individual learning styles. As one would expect, Olfman points to actions parents can take to protect their children. This book has a broader mission than helping parents navigate the treacherous waters of contemporary culture; it will also empower them to be agents of cultural transformation at a time when change is urgently needed.
