Books by David Elkind

Looks at the Internet, classroom culture, school violence, movies, television and a growing societal incivility to show parents and teachers where hurrying occurs and why. This book offers parents and teachers alike insight, advice and hope for encouraging healthy development while protecting the joy and freedom of childhood.

This text on hurried teens condemns how society pushes adolescents to assume adult roles too soon. This thorough revision argues that new trends among teens, such as long work hours, rising violence, and pregnancies make an even stronger case for protecting adolescents instead of pressuring them.
