Why Our Children Don’t Want to Be Parents

Collin Hansen and Nadya Williams discuss the historical and cultural shifts in the perception of children as too costly and demanding.

Richard Scarry published his beloved Bunny Book in 1968. It’s one of my favorites to read to my 3-year-old son. I love the way the young son of my guest today, Nadya Williams, responded to that book: He wanted to grow up to be a dad, like his own dad. How sweet! How normal.

But how uncommon today.
