Ties That Stress The New Family Imbalance

"In style and content...this book is addressed to the general reader....[It] seeks to answer the question: What should we do as traditional family structures seem to be crumbling?...[Elkind] thinks the solution lies with a change in parental behavior. He sees contemporary families 'stumbling' toward a new balance between the needs of the children and the needs of the parents, one that integrates the mutual responsibility of the traditional family with the freedoms of the contemporary family....Let's hope that Elkind is right."Elkind, David is the author of 'Ties That Stress The New Family Imbalance', published 1998 under ISBN 9780674891500 and ISBN 0674891503.
