096 How to Raise an Adult | Avoid Overparenting

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

This episode is the first in a series of episodes that will discuss the book How to Raise an Adult (Break Free of the Overparenting Trap and Prepare Your Kid for Success) by Julie Lythcott-Haims, an award-winning former dean of freshmen and undergraduate advising at Stanford University.

I have observed student and parent behaviors change over the past decade and longer, and this book helped me to understand what I observed in a different light. I will share the points made in the book as well as relate it to the Suzuki music lesson situation in the music studio.

I mentioned a few resources in the podcast episode. Here are links to those items.

This is the book I referred to in the podcast.

I also mentioned a blog article and a podcast episode that relate to this current podcast episode:

Life Lessons From the Chicken Coop (blog article)

What Kind of Parent Are You? (discussion about parenting styles) (podcast)
