Description
Hardcover, 368 pages, published 2015. This book offers a provocative alternative to traditional parenting approaches, arguing that overparenting can harm children and society. Julie Lythcott-Haims draws on research and her own experiences as a mother and student dean to highlight the importance of allowing children to make their own mistakes and develop resilience and resourcefulness. Lythcott-Haims provides practical strategies for parents who want to foster self-reliance in their children, rather than hollow self-esteem. Relevant to parents of toddlers, teens, and young adults, this book is a rallying cry for those who wish to ensure that the next generation can take charge of their own lives with competence and confidence.
