An expert in child development champions the importance of an unhurried childhood As our children are pushed harder than ever to perform so that they will one day "e;make the grade"e; in the adult world, parents are beginning to question the wisdom of scheduling childhood's basic pleasures. Across the country there have been parent rebellions against the overburdening with homework of young children by school officials bent on improving standardized test scores. And the "e;birth to three"e; movement has sparked a national debate on child development and educational policy. In Reclaiming Childhood, William C. Crain argues that rather than trying to control a young child, the best a parent can offer is "e;a patient and unobtrusive presence that gives the child the security and the freedom to explore the world on her own."e; He examines how children find their way to natural development through experiences with nature, art, and language, and makes a strong case for child-centered education-a movement that may be under fire, but that is very much alive.
