Lost Adventures of Childhood. The High Price of Hyper-Parenting
Description
Sometime during the close of the 20th century, free play vanished from the lives of American children. Today, a riptide of structured, highly competitive activities fills their waking hours, heightened by parental ambition and anxiety. This program examines the world of scheduled play-dates and ultra-organized sports, searching out the causes and implications of the hyper-managed childhood. Interviews feature gung-ho, technology-armed parents; summer camp staff charged with documenting each child's every move; and, most poignantly, children visibly stressed by their fast-forward lifestyles. Expert guests include Under Pressure author Carl Honore and Psychology Today editor Hara Estroff Marano.
