Parenting in the 2l't Century

I decided to write this book for several reasons. I was dissatisfied with parenting-advice
literature, finding it to be ridcled with oversimplified messages,
and often unrelated to or at odds
with current scientific knowledge. I also felt certain after years as a professor,
researcher, and
author of textbooks on child development that contemporary
theory and research contain many
vital, practical messages..' ones crucial for parents to understand
if they are to effectively help
tlreir children develop. Furthermore, I've been appro ached, on
countless occasions by uneasy
parents, frustrated by a wide array of child-rearing
issues. I became convinced, therefore, that

that parents are perplexecl about what approach to take

Mutty parents simurtaneousli, comprain that they're

and that due to the growing demands of their jobs,
they have little time for their children.
Nations of pressured, preoccupied parents have

well-being of youth.

It i'vould seern from looking at current media that the younger

generation are achieving less well

of children being deprived of their
childhood and growing up too fast, or the dangers
of promoting m,aterialisrn to yolrng people
abound in the media.

In many countries there is a growing sense of

'youth alienation' and parents rightly fear for their
own children's futures. But agreement on what
parents can and should do to shield
from underachievement and demoralizatron eludes children

to
accomplishing this has varied considerably.

Some authors, convinced that parents are in control of what their children
become, advise a , get

train and instruct as
early as possible. and this has been justified by claims of maximizing
brain growth or securing
high achievement by starting sooner. other authors, however, attribute
many of today,s social
problems to the excessive pressure put on children by parents,
According to these ,child-power,

Section II: Quantitative Reasoning

Instructions
Numbers: All numbers used are real numbers.

Fisures: Position of points, angles, regions, etc. can be assumed to be in the order shown;
and angle measures can be assumed to be positive.

Lines shown as straight can be assumed to be straight,

Figures can be assumed to lie in a plane unless otherwise indicated.

Figures that accompany questions are intended to provide information useful in

answering the questions. However, unless a note states that a figure is drawn to
scale, you should solve these problems NOT by estimating sizes by sight or by
measurement, but by using your knowledge of mathematics.

Qu an titative comparison

Directions: Each of the questions 6l-74 consists of two quantities, one in column A and one in
column B. You are to compare the two quantities and choose:

A if the quantity in column A is greater;

B if the quantity in column B is greater;
C if the two quantities are equal;

D if the relationship cannot be determined from the information given.

Information: In a question, information concerning one or both of the quantities to be compared

is centered above the two columns. A symbol that appears in both columns represents the same
thing in column A as it does in coiumn B.
