In Millennial Child, Eugene Schwartz present's today's
children as an endangered species, deprived of the
boundaries that once separated childhood from
adulthood. Without these boundaries, modern
children become not only (apparent) "little adults,"
but also become capable of promiscuous sexual
behavior, drug addiction, and violence toward
themselves and others on an unprecedented
scale. Schwartz offers the radical paradigm of
childhood development presented
by Rudolf Steiner and embodied in
Waldorf Education as a remedy.
