I am super into this meal lately AND this book. Teaching children how to take control of their own lives is getting harder + harder b/c of parental over-involvement and this competitive culture we live in. I see so much anxiety in students these days, coming from this sense of not knowing how to handle their lives or make decisions for themselves. I am loving this book that encourages parents to give their children some freedom, even if they fail!
Overall, I enjoyed this book and found some great nuggets of wisdom to apply immediately. I thought the idea of working toward being a consultant for rather than manager of your child was a nice metaphor. Other sections were less insightful. And, the final chapter and data about the American college experience was downright depressing. #netgalley
