A practicing pediatrician for 23 years and director of the International Family Clinic in Burlington, North Carolina for the past 16, Dr. Rosemary Stein is a highly-regarded expert in childhood development. In Who Needs a Village? It's a Mom Thing Dr. Stein explains how modern parenting has created a generation of children lacking the confidence and skills to succeed in the real world - and tells parents (and moms especially) what they need to do to get their kids back on track. Raised in both America and her parents' native Dominican Republic, Dr. Stein reveals how her perspective was shaped by her own experiences growing up in those very different cultures. With unflinching honesty, she discusses the personal struggles - and occasional failures - that helped lead to the understandings about children and their needs that have proven so successful in her own practice. Above all, she says, moms must learn to reclaim their innate power; ensuring that they can no longer be bullied by societal pressures, or other parents or, as is all too often the case, their own children. As its title suggests, Who Needs a Village? It's a Mom Thing takes on much that in our increasingly undemanding society has become conventional parenting wisdom. It pulls no punches in its insistence that no job is more important than thatof a parent - or in its message that that job cannot be done nearly as well by anyone else. But her overriding concern is to build sturdier children by reversing the current disastrous trend, and she is ready and willing to take the heat.
