Their Name is Today: Reclaiming Childhood in a Hostile World is a book applicable to any parent - or anyone who influences the lives of children. It speaks to many hot-button issues today: testing, academic pressure, marketing, limited access to play and nature, and more. A lot of what author Johann Christoph Arnold wrote resonated with me. I'm fortunately that my daughters are in an environment without a great deal of standardized testing, and my husband and I limit their commercial influence. Both of us value play - so this book was really preaching to the choir and strengthened my resolve to continue those patterns.

I have a chance to give away a copy of the book. To enter, leave a comment by October 31st with the most negative influence you believe society has on kids today, and how you try to minimize its effects.
