What happened would consume the next several years of her life and spur her to investigate the broader role America's culture of fear plays in parenthood. In Small Animals , Brooks asks, Of all the emotions inherent in parenting, is there any more universal or profound than fear? Why have our notions of what it means to be a good parent changed so radically? In what ways do these changes impact the lives of parents, children, and the structure of society at large? And what, in the end, does the rise of fearful parenting tell us about ourselves? Fueled by urgency and the emotional intensity of Brooks's own story, Small Animals is a riveting examination of the ways our culture of competitive, anxious, and judgmental parenting has profoundly altered the experiences of parents and children. 650 0 $a Parenthood $z United States. 650 0 $a Mother and child $z United States. 650 0 $a Fear $z United States. 650 0 $a Child welfare $z United States. 650 7 $a Child welfare. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00854709 650 7 $a Fear. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922034 650 7 $a Mother and child. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01026878 650 7 $a Parenthood. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01053396 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Anecdotes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423876 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919894 655 7 $a Anecdotes. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20200103012148.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DF6509BA2DF611EAB868BF0597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
