(no subject)

I was talking to my sister, and somehow the conversation brought to mind an article I'd read a few years back. I'm pretty sure it was in the NY Times Sunday Magazine. It talked about two different styles of parenting amongst people who live in Manhattan.

According to the article, yuppies (richer White people) raised their kids as "adults in training," whereas in poorer minority areas parents were more likely to "let kids be kids." The former method focuses more on rules and responsibilities whereas the latter focuses more on making the most of childhood fun and freedom. The former encourages kids to question adults and make their own decisions, whereas the latter teaches obedience and respect for parental authority. The article gave examples of both styles (the author having spent time in households that used both methods) and went on to examine what effects that had as the kids grew to adulthood.

That's about all I remember. I wanted to reread the article and show it to my sister, but I can't seem to find it. I've tried searching the Times archives directly, a general Google search, and a Google search restricted to site:nytimes.com but I can't seem to find it.

Anyone know what I'm talking about? Anyone have better Google-fu than I?
