The Gift of Failure: How the Best Parents Learn to Let Go So Their Children Can Succeed by Jessica Lahey

4.0

This is a parenting book about the benefits of letting your child feel the consequences of mistakes and taking responsibility for themselves. I thought the idea behind it was good, but I also felt a lot of it didn't apply to me because the author focused on school and especially middle school.

I did like the idea of trusting kids to live up to our expectations and that the more we trust them, the more they will feel our confidence in them (helping them become more self sufficient and confident in themselves).
