Moiste “kasvatushirm”, nagu seda uldiselt kasutatakse, viitab paanikale (mis on vastsete lapsevanemate seas tavaline), et see muutiline teadmuse late mingil pohjusel ei vallandugi. Raamatu keskne eeldus on, et paljud nuudisaja uhiskonna lastekasvatusstrateegiad annavad tegelikult tagasilooke – kuna olulised teaduslikud teekaanakud on jaetud kahe silma vahele. Sellest tulenevad vaarad eeldused laste arengu kohta on moonutanud lastekasvatamise tavasid, koolide oppekavasid ja sotsiaalpoliitikat. Kaesoleva raamatu eesmark ei ole hairekella luua, vaid opetada meid lastest teistmoodi, sugavamalt ja selgemalt motlema. Raamatus kasitletud teemad on laiahaardelised, puhendatud vordsetes osades aju ehitusele ja moraalsetele toekspidamistele. Need seostuvad igas eas lastega, mudilastest teismelisteni. Autorid on puhendanud eraldi peatukid laste enesekindlusele, oounele, valetamisele, rassistlikele hoiakutele, intelligentsusele, odede-vendade konfliktile, teismeea massule, enesekontrollile, agressioonile, tanulikkusele ja keeleoskuse omandamisele.
