awakens
all readers—especially those with major contact to the youth—to the destructive
wave of pressure that is hitting adolescents by the age of twelve. The author
relates this powerful force to a tsunami, rightfully so, and emphasizes that it
is being fueled by pop culture as a whole. Television, movies, the Internet,
music and peers all have an impact on this generation’s youth and the need is
apparent for a drastic shift in the right direction.
“The Cultural Tsunami provides a direct challenge to the popular thinking and approach to parenting in our culture,” states the author. “My hope and prayer is that The Cultural Tsunami will be a wake-up call to those who care about children, teens and young adults, and the future of our culture. We are at risk of losing the potentially significant contribution of this generation and generations to come if we continue to simply sit back and hope for the best.”
Patty Frey Nelson writes from the perspective of a family therapist, stay-at-home mom of four for seventeen years, and as a grandmother. The author has worked as a mental health therapist specializing in at-risk children, teens and families for thirteen years, and has volunteered as a youth worker and Sunday school teacher at her church for several years.
