Childhood: A Gift or a White Elephant

  I had read Johann Christoph Arnold's book Rich in Years a while back. I found his comments and concerns to be valid so when I had a chance to read another of his books I jumped at the opportunity. I was not displeased. Arnold's book Their Name is Today: Reclaiming Childhood in a Hostile World examines the childhood children are experiencing today. So much truth and wisdom are packed in this little book. Arnold explores child's unstructured play, parental influence or lack there of, technology addiction and materialism.For instance, he writes "Children model the behavior of adults, on whatever scale is available to them. Ours are growing up in a nation whose most important, influential men...solve problems by killing people."  If your concerned for your children, grandchildren or any child than you will want to read this gem.
I received this book from Handlebar to review for free.
