At the intersection of policy, psychology, and parenting ideology stands Child Care: Sense and Fable, a rigorous and unflinching critique of the prevailing orthodoxies surrounding child-rearing in modern society. Patricia Morgan systematically dismantles the myths and fashionable assumptions that have come to dominate child care discourse, arguing with forensic precision that much of what passes for established wisdom is, in fact, ideologically driven fable dressed in the language of science. Morgan's style is analytical yet accessible, bringing together a formidable body of research to challenge the consensus on working mothers, day care, and the role of the family in child development. A polemicist of the first order, she presents uncomfortable truths about the emotional and developmental needs of young children that the mainstream conversation has long sought to sideline. Readers who question the received wisdom of child-rearing culture will find in this work a compelling, evidence-led argument that refuses to be silenced.
