Parenthood by Proxy

New York Times best-selling author Dr. Laura Schlessinger takes on America's trend to put adult fulfillment before children's needs. With her straight-shooting style, she illustrates the serious consequences of this lifestyle for both youngsters and the family. Offering compelling evidence of widespread neglect of children, the author condemns excuses given by many parents, special interest groups, and professionals. And she addresses the serious issues that contribute to this childhood crisis including the high divorce rate, single parenting, dual-career families, and the acceptance of immoral behavior. In contrast to the prevailing culture, she exhorts us to make our children our top priority-even if we must radically change our lives. Each weekday on the country's number one radio program, Dr. Laura Schlessinger advises millions of people with her answers to tough ethical and moral questions. In this provocative book, she encourages parents as she guides them through the perils of contemporary life. Barbara Caruso's thought-provoking performance will fill you with a fresh determination to get actively involved in your children's hearts, minds, and souls.
