Peter Stearns (2004) Consulted Various Existing Sources for His Book

Peter Stearns (2004) consulted various existing sources for his book Anxious Parents: A History of Modern Childrearing in America. What did he find?

A) Being held responsible for their children's protection from endless sources of harm, many parents experienced a sense of empowerment that increased steadily over the course of the twentieth century.
B) While children were once viewed as self-sufficient mini-adults, beginning in the late 1800s children were seen as particularly vulnerable.
C) Stearn's work may have predicted the advent of today's "deadbeat dads," fathers who are not involved in their children's lives.
D) Meanings of childhood have remained relatively stable over time.
