520    The nineteenth and twentieth centuries saw a dramatic 
       shift in the role of children in American society and 
       families. No longer necessary for labor, children became 
       economic liabilities and twentieth-century parents 
       exhibited a new level of anxiety concerning the welfare of
       their children and their own ability to parent 
       effectively. What caused this shift in the ways parenting 
       and childhood were experienced and perceived? Why, at a 
       time of relative ease and prosperity, do parents continue 
       to grapple with uncertainty and with unreasonable 
       expectations of both themselves and their children? Peter 
       N. Stearns explains this phenomenon by examining the new 
       issues the twentieth century brought to bear on families. 
       Surveying popular media, "expert" childrearing manuals, 
       and newspapers and journals published throughout the 
       century, Stearns shows how schooling, physical and 
       emotional vulnerability and the rise in influence of 
       commercialism became primary concerns for parents. The 
       result, Stearns shows, is that contemporary parents have 
       come to believe that they are participating in a culture 
       of neglect and diminishing standards. Anxious parents: a 
       modern history of childrearing in America shows the 
       reasons for this belief through an historic examination of
       modern parenting.
