«Bajo presión» is Carl Honoré's parenting essay, published by RBA in paperback (464 pages, in Spanish).
Starting from the contrast between a freer childhood and today's pressure, Carl Honoré analyzes hyper-parenting: parents who overstimulate, overprotect and project their frustrations onto their children. The book combines anecdotes, studies and interviews to show how this excess of demands damages children's autonomy and proposes slowing down the pace and reducing competitiveness to recover a more balanced upbringing.
The work belongs to RBA's Divulgación collection, where it is number 215. Originally published as «Under Pressure», this essay was nominated for the Hilary Weston Writers' Trust Prize for Nonfiction in 2008.
Aimed at mothers, fathers and educators seeking to reflect on the impact of demands and overprotection on childhood.
Carl Honoré is a Canadian journalist who wrote the internationally best-selling book In Praise of Slow (2004) about the Slow Movement.
