Summary:
"Focuses on the critical school years when
parents
must
learn
to allow
their
children
to experience the disappointment and frustration that occur from life's inevitable problems
so
that they
can
grow up to be successful, resilient, and self-reliant adults. Modern parenting is defined by an unprecedented level of overprotectiveness:
parents
who rush to school at the whim of a phone call to deliver forgotten assignments, who challenge teachers on report card disappointments, mastermind
children
's friendships, and interfere on the playing field. Even though these
parents
see themselves as being highly responsive to
their
children
's well being, they aren't giving them the chance to experience
failure
-- or the opportunity to
learn
to solve
their
own problems. Overparenting has the potential to ruin a child's confidence and undermine
their
education. Teachers don't just teach reading, writing, and arithmetic. They teach responsibility, organization, manners, restraint, and foresight -- important life skills
children
carry with them long after they leave the classroom. Providing a path toward solutions, Lahey lays out a blueprint with targeted advice for handling homework, report cards, social dynamics, and sports. A plan to help
parents
learn
to step back and embrace
their
children’s failures.
