In many ways, today?s parents and children have more freedom than ever before. There is widespread respect for children?s autonomy as distinct individuals, and a broad range of parenting styles are flourishing. Yet it may also be fair to say that there is an unprecedented fear of children?s and parents? freedom. Dread about Amber Alerts and ?stranger danger? have put an end to the unsupervised outdoor play enjoyed by earlier generations of suburban kids. Similarly, fear of bad parenting has not only given rise to a cottage industry of advice books for anxious parents, but has also granted state agencies greater power to police the family. Using popular parenting advice literature as a springboard for a broader sociological analysis of the American family, Markella B. Rutherford explores how our increasingly psychological conception of the family might be jeopardizing our appreciation for parents? and children?s public lives and civil liberties. 410 0$aFamilies in focus. 606 $aParenting$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aChild rearing$zUnited States 606 $aParent and child$zUnited States 606 $aMass media and families$zUnited States 615 0$aParenting$xSocial aspects 615 0$aChild rearing 615 0$aParent and child 615 0$aMass media and families 676 $a649/.109730904 700 $aRutherford$b Markella B.$f1973-$01680997 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807821603321 996 $aAdult supervision required$94050106 997 $aUNINA
