Summary:
"Exposes the detrimental effects of helicopter parenting and puts forth an alternative philosophy for raising self-sufficient young adults. Across a decade as Stanford University's Dean of Freshmen, Lythcott-Haims noticed a startling rise in parental involvement in college students' lives. Every year, more parents were exerting control over students' academic work, extracurriculars, and career choices, often taking matters into their own hands rather than risk their child's failure or disappointment. Increasing numbers of college students, as a result of this hyper-attentive parenting, lack a strong sense of self and are poorly equipped to handle the demands of
adult
life. The author describes the types of helicopter parents and, while empathizing with parents' universal worries, she underlines 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. Julie Lythcott-Haims served as dean of freshmen and undergraduate advising at Stanford University. She is the author of the memoir Real American"--Provided by publisher.
