The author defines modern parenting as a state of overprotectiveness. Parents see themselves as being highly responsive to their children’s well-being; however, they aren’t giving children the chance to experience failure or the opportunity to solve their own problems. Instead, Lahey sets forth a plan to help parents learn to step back and embrace their children’s setbacks along with their success. A great book to recommend for parents!
