How to Raise an Adult: break free of the overparenting trap and prepare your kid for success
Julie Lythcott-Haims
ISBN: 9781627791779
In two main parts: first, an exhaustive indictment against modern helicopter parenting, second, a framework for building an authoritative parenting style that helps kids face and overcome challenges.
A little too much time spent establishing what's wrong (although I can see how she might think that she needs to convince people) but the advice is spot-on and direct, offering specific scenarios and talking points to help parents step out of the way of their kids, so the kids can develop life skills themselves, instead of just coasting along in the wake of their parents' organizational and problem-solving efforts.
