Title: A minority opinion
Review: This book didn't work for me, probably because my expectations were for a scholarly work. What I got was a series of light weight, rambling essays of Dr. Thomas new age feelings. Yes, historically some cultures have venerated the aged, but that wasn't necessarily the norm. Yes, some parents today overprogram their children (emphasizing in Thomas pseudo science terminology "DOING-being"), but childhood is a relatively recent luxury, and baring some extremes, it seems to me that parents today are as dedicated and loving as their forebears. This is the perfect book if you want to reminisce about a non-existant idyllic past, and tut tut about how we've lost our way. Otherwise, run.
