" In How to Raise an Adult, Lythcott-Haims draws on research, conversations with educators and employers, and her own insights as a mother and student dean to highlight the ways in which over-parenting harms children and their stressed-out parents. She identifies types of helicopter parents and, while empathizing with parents' universal worries, offers practical alternative strategies that underline the importance of allowing children to make their own mistakes and develop the resilience, resourcefulness, and inner determination necessary for success. Relevant to parents of toddlers as well as of twentysomethings, 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"-- Provided by publisher.

good submitted by jamieyang8 on June 19, 2017, 2:15pm every parent should read, especially for control freaks

Important considerations submitted by denisekim on July 19, 2023, 8:19pm I thought this was so helpful, to consider that our kids will someday need to be fully functioning adults! And that is hovering teaches them that we don’t trust their capabilities. Because of this book we let our kids (4/5) bike around the block solo and they were so proud of themselves!
