The Self-Driven Child: The Science and Sense of Giving Your Kids More Control Over Their Lives by William Stixrud, Ned Johnson

4.0

Very interesting read, really stresses the importance of giving kids autonomy over their life. It is their life, not yours. I hope to model a lot of these lessons with my kids going forward to be more of a consultant rather than an authoritarian source, planning out every step of their lives. Kids need to learn how to deal with bumps in the road on their own with you there as a resource, not a shot-caller.
