The gift of failure : how the best parents learn to let go so their children can succeed / Jessica Lahey. by Lahey, Jessica. Harper, 2015. Call #: 649.7 L183g Subjects Self-reliance in children.   Resilience (Personality trait) -- Study and teaching (Early childhood)   Parental overprotection.   Early childhood education -- Parent participation.   Child rearing.   Parenting -- United States. ISBN:  9780062299239 (hc.) 0062299239 (hc.) Alternate title:  Failure : how the best parents learn to let go so their children can succeed 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.
