PERSPECTIVES: How to Raise an Adult

  On the next KTEP Book Club on PERSPECTIVES, Julie Lythcott-Haims joins us to talk about her book HOW TO RAISE AN ADULT: Break Free of the Overparenting Trap and Prepare Your Kid for Success. Lythcott-Haims is former Stanford University Dean of Freshmen, and her book explores how and why the hyper-attentive parenting, or helicopter parenting, trend has taken parents and their offspring hostage in this country, and exposes the real-life dangers that lie ahead not only for the kids who are raised this way, but for society at large.

Aired July 24, 2016
