Its adherents seem just like ordinary moms and dads, but they're standing modern parenting culture on its head. Call them the new refuseniks. They refuse to drill their kids with flash cards, or to play Mozart sonatas before, during and after childbirth. They put family dinners before hockey practice, urge kids to jump in autumn leaves rather than practise piano, toss early learning workbooks in the trash, and walk by lamppost signs for tutoring without a second glance. Most heretical of all, they're letting their kids get bored from time to time." (MACLEAN'S) The author discusses the backlash against "hyper-parenting", citing that "unstructured time is critical to a child's intellectual development."| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
