Series: SIRS Enduring Issues 2005Article 6Family. Publisher: Today's Parent, 2004ISSN: 1522-3213;.Subject(s): Fear | Paranoia | Parent and child | Parental overprotection | Parents -- AttitudesDDC classification: 050 Summary: "The paranoia of modern parents, the universe of our contemporary fears, is a unique landscape, exhaustively charted and basically undivined. Which is to say it's 'totally reasonable' and 'totally pathological.' The disconnect is simple: Statistics consistently show that we live in probably the safest time and civilization for children in recorded history, and yet we have never been more worried about their welfare." (TODAY'S PARENT) The author asserts that "life today [2004] is far safer than it was in the past, particularly for upwardly mobile, middle-class, educated people" and examines the reasons why these are "exactly the kind of people, ironically, most likely to be gripped by fear."| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
