New Release TEN WAYS TO DESTROY THE IMAGINATION OF YOUR CHILD Anthony Esolen NOVEMBER 9781935191889 (cloth) $26.95 320 pages 6 x 9 EDUCATION / PARENTING WE RE EXTINGUISHING THE MINDS (AND SOULS) OF OUR CHILDREN Play ates, helicopter parenting, No Chil Left Behin, vieo games, political correctness: these an other insiious trens in chil rearing an eucation are now the hallmarks of chilhoo. As author Anthony Esolen emonstrates in this elegantly written, often wickely funny new book, almost everything we are oing to chilren now constricts their imaginations, usually to serve the ulterior motives of the constrictors. Ten Ways to Destroy the Imagination of Your Chil takes square aim at these accelerating trens, while offering parents an chilren hopeful alternatives. Esolen shows how imagination is snuffe out at practically every turn: in the rearing of chilren almost exclusively inoors; in the flattening of love to sex eucation, an sex eucation to prurience an hygiene; in the loss of traitional chilhoo games; in the refusal to allow chilren to organize themselves into teams; in the effacing of the glorious ifferences between the sexes; in the ismissal of the power of memory, which creates the worst of all possible worls in school rugery without even the merit of imparting facts; in the strict separation of the chil s worl from the ault s; an in the enial of the transcenent, which places a low ceiling on the chil s eveloping spirit an min. Much like The Woner of Boys an The Woner of Girls, an The Dangerous Book for Boys an The Daring Book for Girls, Ten Ways to Destroy the Imagination of Your Chil confronts contemporary trens in parenting an schooling by reclaiming lost traitions. This practical, insightful book is essential reaing for any parent who cares about the paltry thing that chilhoo has become.
