New York. 1995. January 1995. Scribners. 1st Printing. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0684193361. 415 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Janet Perr. keywords: Childcare America History. FROM THE PUBLISHER-Beyond childcare theories and early chidhood gurus, here is how children have actually been raised in America over the last four centuries. From wet nurses and Southern mammys, settlement houses and orphan trains, to rigid British nannies, foster care, and the modern two-worker family, Geraldine Youcha's delightful book paints a wide-ranging picture of American childhood. In this updated paperback edition a lively new chapter brings the story through current childcare wars and present economic realities. All in all, it is a reassuring picture, for despite a bewildering array of different styles and fads, children have suffered and often thrived. While there are some harsh lessons to be learned here, there is also plenty to lend optimism and help anxious parents relax. inventory #20821.
