Poisoned Childhood - Harmful Effects of the Modern World on Children

The modern world we have been living in since the second half of the 20th century, on the one hand, makes our lives more colorful and easier than ever before, while on the other hand, it stresses us out with its incredibly fast pace.
Even though we are aware of the social change we are experiencing as adults and try not to give up the reins completely, there is something we forget to protect: children. Since the last quarter of the century, there has been a great increase in behavioral and emotional problems in many countries of the world, especially in the developed world. While there is an explosion in disorders such as ADHD and dyslexia, depression, impulsive behavior and learning difficulties are gaining momentum. So why?

Sue Palmer, who has worked as a teacher and educational consultant for thirty years, reveals in this important and striking book how the inseparable elements of modern life come together to create a toxic mixture and poison our children. It deals with a wide range of problems of modern children, ranging from unhealthy and irregular nutrition to the inexperience of parents, from electronic devices to unqualified child care. In Poisoned Childhood, Palmer draws on data from experts in a variety of disciplines and presents the latest research from many parts of the world. It explains each problem separately and offers suggestions on how to overcome them. Poisoned Childhood is a valuable resource for parents, teachers, and anyone looking for solutions to the modern problems of the next generation.
