About this product

Product Information

Like most parents, Ellen Currey-Wilson and her husband aspired to be better parents than their own. Having shared most of her childhood with The Beverly Hillbillies and having memorised the TV listings ever since, Currey-Wilson longed for her son Casey to know the people around him better than he knew the cast of Friends . In her revealing and outspoken take on parenting, Currey-Wilson recounts her increasingly fanatical behaviour and the intermittent fits of insecurity that find her worrying whether Casey might be ostracised for not knowing the theme song to SpongeBob SquarePants. But something remarkable happens as television assumes a back seat to real life: Currey-Wilson's relationships with her laid-back husband, new-age sister, eccentric mother and remarkably self-possessed son begin to deepen and grow. And while Casey develops into a self-sufficient, intelligent and confident boy, scores of his TV-mesmerised peers are being diagnosed with ADHD. In an age when it's easier to flip on the TV than to interact with the people around us, The Big Turnoff shows what can happen when one woman decides to buck the trend.

Happily, I received the books as the 1989 editions, which was what I had wanted in the first place (cover not listed as such). Condition acceptable, price was reflective of that. All good, thank you.
