A New Vision for Early Childhood gives us a compelling understanding of who children are, what they need from parents and teachers, and what they are capable of. And here’s some relieving news for parents: We can stop hovering. We can do less. We can trust more.

Dr. Becky Kennedy

CEO & Founder, Good Inside

Deeply personal and richly detailed, Hichenberg’s illuminating exploration of a child’s life is essential reading for parents, educators, and all those eager to understand the troubling experience of young children today.

Dr. Paula S. Fass

Author: The End of American Childhood

A New Vision reframes the toddler world so we can radically reframe our relationships with young children and let go of adult-driven control. An eye-opening book every parent and educator must read.

Dr. Tovah P. Klein

Author: Raising Resilience; Director, Barnard Center for Toddler Development

Using cutting-edge approaches to human development, Hichenberg lays out profoundly novel perspectives about young children. A New Vision is about the urgent need to challenge our faulty notions about children, parenting, and ultimately, ourselves.

Dr. Anna Stetsenko

Author: The Transformative Mind; Psychology and Urban Education Professor, CUNY Graduate Center

In vivid detail, Hichenberg shows how our expectations of young children actually diminish their remarkable capacities and competencies. A New Vision artfully recasts their resistance to our expectations as their need to explore, to be set free, to find their way in this world.

CEO and Museum Director, Children’s Museum of Manhattan
