Synopsis
There's hope for childhood. Despite a perfect storm of hostile forces that are robbing children of a healthy childhood, courageous parents and teachers who know what's best for children are turning the tide.Johann Christoph Arnold, whose books on education, parenting, and relationships have helped more than a million readers through life's challenges, draws on the stories and voices of parents and educators on the ground, and a wealth of personal experience. He surveys the drastic changes in the lives of children, but also the groundswell of grassroots advocacy and action that he believes will lead to the triumph of common sense and time-tested wisdom.Arnold takes on technology, standardized testing, overstimulation, academic pressure, marketing to children, over-diagnosis and much more, calling on everyone who loves children to combat these threats to childhood and find creative ways to help children flourish. Every parent, teacher, and childcare provider has the power to make a difference, by giving children time to play, access to nature, and personal attention, and most of all, by defending their right to remain children., There's hope for childhood.

Item description from the seller
Seller feedback (2,729)
- 2***o (4)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem as described. Shipping was slow, I paid on August 28th and the item was not put into the mail until September 4th. We did have a holiday but six days excluding the holiday and Sunday to ship the item seems excessive. Communication was also lacking. I sent a message on August 31st and no reply.
- _***d (1680)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseTempted to leave neutral. Auction said different city--why would a seller drive to a post office KNOWING it's only 5 miles from a buyer, rather than just meet at a convenience store? I messaged seller 8/18 "I would rather pick up than pay $6 shipping on a $6 item", seller said "I already mailed it". But tracking says "post office picked up 8/19". I'm handicapped (disability), six bucks is two gallons gas. I've met local sellers many times. Please consider pickup next time (and save packing)?
- l***a (2)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseAmazing!! The mug arrived faster than expected and came in perfect condition! Packaging was secure enough to handle overseas and the mug is as described. For overseas shipping and the price I am very happy with this purchase! Thank you!Vintage Ceramic Pottery Mug Glazed Brown Ombre Beige Tan (#153535318793)
