Contested Childhood

by Susan Holloway

In Contested Childhood, Holloway, an educational and developmental psychologist, examines the Japanese preschool and identifies the cultural models that guide Japanese child-rearing as being contentious and fragmented. She looks at the societal, religious and economic factors that shape various preschool programs and shows how culture influences child-rearing beliefs and practices.

I'm going to ditch this. I read about 100 pages, put it down to read something else and have no urge to pick it up again.
