"Research reveals American kids today lag well behind the rest of the world in terms of academic achievement, happiness, and wellness. Meanwhile the battle over whether parents are to blame for fostering a generation of helpless kids rages on. Christine Gross-Loh (who raised her young children in Japan for five years) exposes the hidden, culturally-determined norms we have about good parenting, and asks, are there parenting strategies that other countries are getting right that we are not?"--Amazon.com.

Reading this book felt like a chore. I read "Free-Range Kids, Giving Our Children the Freedom We Had Without Going Nuts with Worry" earlier and there were a lot of similarities. Parenting without Borders suffered a lot from me just hearing the ideas previously.
I do find that modern American parenting comes too often from a place of fear. Sometimes we just have to trust ourselves, our kids and the world, that things will work out.
