Spoiling Childhood: How Well-Meaning Parents Are Giving Children Too Much - But Not What They Needby Diane Ehrensaft New List Price $40.00Buy today and save! Ehrensaft, a developmental and clinical psychologist, provides an analysis of parenting aimed at both parents and experts in child development. The key to understanding her theories is her concept of "kinderdult," a word coined in this work to describe the paradox of children who are given both too much indulgence and too much power. Ehrensaft feels that parents and children alike are confused by the dual and opposing phenomena of excessive child-centeredness and adult self-centeredness. She hopes to empower parents to sort out their own needs, to stop being over-involved with their children, and to use assertiveness when appropriate.
