From the PlayReport, an IKEA-sponsored survey on child development and play

[Dr. Clark, co-author of Playreport]: We live in a cash-rich, time-poor society. What’s really interesting is that parents today spend four times more time with their children than they did in 1975. So actually we’re spending more time with our children, but we’re feeling more guilty than ever.

I'm fascinated by the impact of sociocultural forces on entire emotions. This was something covered in a conversation with Monica Narula of the Absolution Exchange project, which looked at how to turn guilt into a social resource. My question of Monica was for her take on why guilt has developed into such a big part of our lives over the last century; her answer: Freud.
