099 TSP Teach Them to Think | Avoid Overparenting (part 4)

This episode is the fourth and last episode in a series that discusses 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.

Today’s episode discusses ways in which parents can teach their children the skill of critical thinking and ways in which parents may undermine their children’s ability to think for themselves.

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.

Here are the three earlier episodes in the Overparenting Series:

Overparenting part 1

Overparenting part 2

Overparenting part 3
