| 1 | Saving Childhood | 1998 | Michael Medved | Buy |
Saving Childhood (1998) was written by Michael Medved and his wife, psychologist Diane Medved. The book argues that American children face increasing pressure from media, schools, and peers to abandon childhood earlier than previous generations did.
The Medveds draw on both research and their own experience as parents to suggest practical approaches for families. The book covers topics like media consumption, peer pressure, and the role of schools, offering what the authors describe as a defense of childhood in an age that seems determined to cut it short.
