"Good Children" (Our Own), "Bad Children" (Other People's), And the Horrible Work Ethic
Keniston, Kenneth
Yale Alumni Magazine, 37, 7, 6-11, Apr 74
Traces the history of Americans' views of childhood and child rearing, demonstrating how they have been dominated by an emphasis on children's prospective value as future economic producers. A new vision is required which, without depreciating the importance of work, would place equal emphasis on qualities such as love, care, and imagination. (EH)
