In this ground-breaking and provocative book, award-winning journalist and parenting author Tanith Carey presents the latest research on what this pressure is doing to the next generation.

Dr David Whitebread, Senior Lecturer in Psychology of Education at Cambridge University
'The book is GREAT . . . in a great tradition along with Madeleine Bunting's Willing Slaves, and Sue Gerhardt's The Selfish Society, and of course Kim Payne's Simplicity Parenting, as critiques of society that also help us re-orient our parenting . . . beautifully lucid and readable, and . . . definitely on the right track in terms of what kids need.
Steve Biddulph, parenting author
'I could not stop reading! It is one of those books that from page one, had me nodding and agreeing at every point.'
Shaheen Merali, Families
'Possibly the best book I have read in the parenting arena. Insightful and thought-provoking, it teaches you how to parent in a better, more conducive way so that you stay connected to your child and see them for who they are - not what they can do.'
Naomi Richards, The Parenting Coach
