Story
In How to Raise an Adult, Julie Lythcott-Haims draws on research; on conversations with admissions officers, educators, and employers; and on her own insights as a mother and as a student dean to highlight the ways in which overparenting harms children, their stressed-out parents, and society at large.

Every parent today should read this book.

While the book starts off with some pretty jaw-dropping stories of the extent that some parents go to these days; I very quickly saw how it truly applies to most parents of middle to upper class families these days. And it gives concrete examples of how we can help our children to grow into capable adults by letting go of our insane grip that we think will ensure them a good life in the future, but will instead only make their path more difficult.
