The parenting section of the bookstore is overwhelming—it’s “a giant, candy-colored monument to our collective panic,“ as writer Jennifer Senior puts it. Why is parenthood filled with so much anxiety? Because the goal of modern, middle-class parents—to raise happy children—is so elusive. In this honest talk, she offers some kinder and more achievable aims.
