Dr. Oster emphasizes that the concept of 'hurried child syndrome' has been misinterpreted; rushing your child does not inherently lead to anxiety.
Dr. Oster states, 'the best way' to support kids is to abandon the notion of a singular 'best way,' encouraging individualized parenting.
The oversimplification of hurried child syndrome has misled parents to fear that occasional urgency will irreversibly affect their child's mental health.
Oster traces the origins of 'hurried child syndrome' back to Elkind's 1981 work, highlighting the continued relevance of moving toward free play.
