We've Got Issues: Children and Parents in the Age of

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Warner, Judith, PUBLISHER: Riverhead Books, In her provocative ong>newong> book, "ong>Newong> York Times"-bestselling author Judith Warner explores ong>theong> storm of debate over wheong>theong>r we are overdiagnosing and overmedicating our children who have "issues." In "Perfect Madness: Moong>theong>rhood in ong>theong> Age of Anxiety," Judith Warner explained what's gone wrong with ong>theong> culture of parenting, and her conclusions sparked a national debate on how women and society view moong>theong>rhood. Her ong>newong> book, "We've Got Issues: Children and Parents in ong>theong> Age of Medication," will generate ong>theong> same kind of controversy, as she tackles a subject that's just as contentious and important: Are parents and physicians too quick to prescribe medi-cation to control our children's behavior? Are we using drugs to excuse inept parents who can't raise ong>theong>ir children properly? What Warner discovered from ong>theong> extensive research and interviewing she did for this book is that passion on both sides of ong>theong> issue "is ideological and only tangentially about real children," and she cuts through ong>theong> jargon and hysteria to delve into a topic that for millions of parents involves one of ong>theong> most important decisions ong>theong>y'll ever make for ong>theong>ir child. Insightful, compelling, and deeply mov-ing, "We've Got Issues" is for parents, doctors, and teachers-anyone who cares about ong>theong> welfare of today's children.
