Bringing up children

Description

Is there a crisis of childhood caused by the consumer society and the mass media? "There is impatience in our culture for letting children be children," says Archbishop Rowan Williams, who cites lack of in-depth conversations between parents and children as the main cause for their vulnerability to advertising tactics. In this intriguing program, Archbishop Williams argues with children's author Philip Pullman about the theme of militant moral atheism in Pullman's work, and with abandoned children's charity coordinator Camila Batmanghelidjh, who says that the Anglican Church is behind the times in giving a message that is relevant to troubled children and their experiences.
