Many parents wonder whether they are adequately preparing their children for the harsh realities of growing up and becoming productive members of society. Parents react by attempting to create the perfect child. This program examines the following issues: Are children better off being raised in smaller families? What is the father/child relationship supposed to be today? How do working mothers and child-care impact child-rearing? What is a dysfunctional family? Do politicians use families and family values as a political football? The roles played by poverty and troublesome children within families are examined, as is the belief that children have proven to be more resilient than is commonly thought. (56 minutes)
