What happened would consume the next several years of her life and spur her to investigate the broader role America's culture of fear plays in parenthood. In Small Animals , Brooks asks, Of all the emotions inherent in parenting, is there any more universal or profound than fear? Why have our notions of what it means to be a good parent changed so radically? In what ways do these changes impact the lives of parents, children, and the structure of society at large? And what, in the end, does the rise of fearful parenting tell us about ourselves? Fueled by urgency and the emotional intensity of Brooks's own story, Small Animals is a riveting examination of the ways our culture of competitive, anxious, and judgmental parenting has profoundly altered the experiences of parents and children.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hanapepe Public Library J -- Juvenile, Parent Shelf P 306.8743 Br Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 306.8743 Br Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.8743 Br Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.8743 Br Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.8743 Br Checked In Add Copy to MyList
