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

5.0

I feel like this was one of the most helpful parenting books I've read. It's so hard as a parent to separate ourselves from our kids, but they are their own unique selves. It's so important to let them have their own autonomy and to foster independence. I loved so many of the tips in this book for approaching different situations. I have been working hard on letting my kids take the lead. Did I agree 100% with everything written? No, but I took away so many other wonderful things.
