Description

Dr. Leonard Sax argues that rising levels of depression and anxiety among young people can be traced to parents abdicating their authority. In "The Collapse of Parenting", Sax makes the case for parents to reassert their authority to help their children thrive in a toxic culture.

By limiting screen time, prioritizing the family, and teaching humility and perspective, parents can help their children develop the self-control and direction they need to succeed. Sax draws on his experience as a family physician and psychologist, as well as hundreds of interviews with children, parents, and teachers, to provide concrete guidance for parents seeking to help their children fulfill their potential.

This revised and updated edition of "The Collapse of Parenting" offers new stories, new evidence, and new recommendations for parents looking for a blueprint to help their children thrive in an increasingly broken world.
