description: In her provocative new book New York Times -bestselling author Judith Warner explores the storm of debate over whether we are overdiagnosing and overmedicating our children who have issues.In Perfect Motherhood in the Age of Anxiety  Judith Warner explained what's gone wrong with the culture of parenting and her conclusions sparked a national debate on how women and society view motherhood. Her new book We've Got Children and Parents in the Age of Medication  will generate the same kind of controversy as she tackles a subject that's just as contentious and Are parents and physicians too quick to prescribe medication to control our children's behavior? Are we using drugs to excuse inept parents who can't raise their children properly?What Warner discovered from the extensive research and interviewing she did for this book is that passion on both sides of the issue is ideological and only tangentially about real children and she cuts through the jargon and hysteria to delve into a topic that for millions of parents involves one of the most important decisions they'll ever make for their child.Insightful compelling and deeply moving We've Got Issues is for parents doctors and teachers-anyone who cares about the welfare of today's children.
