How to Raise an Adult: Break Free of the Overparenting Trap and Prepare Your Kid for Success

Many parents today find themselves caught in the cycle of overparenting, a practice that can inadvertently hinder a child's development into a capable adult. This approach, often fueled by good intentions and parental anxieties, can lead to unintended consequences for children, parents, and society.

This insightful book, a New York Times Best Seller, delves into the pervasive issue of helicopter parenting. Drawing on extensive research, conversations with educators and employers, and personal experience, it reveals how excessive involvement can impact children's ability to navigate life independently. It also acknowledges the fears that drive such parenting styles.

Offering a path toward fostering genuine self-reliance, the book provides practical strategies for allowing children to learn from their own experiences. This approach helps cultivate the resilience, resourcefulness, and inner drive essential for success. It is particularly valuable for parents of teens and young adults, serving as a guide to raising competent and confident individuals ready to take charge of their lives.

This work is a significant contribution to Parenting & Family Life and Self Help literature, advocating for a more balanced and effective way to prepare the next generation.
