In this practical sensible book, parents will truly understand the dynamics between parents and their children, especially the tendency of children to recruit their parents to do too much for them. The book also counsels that failing--whether it's a test, a course, or a tryout for a team--is a natural part of growing up, and not a sign of parental incompetence.
- Shows how to resist the pressure to become over involved in your child's life
- How to retire as a gatekeeper or manager of your child's life, and become a genuine source of support
- Build trusting relationships with teachers, coaches, camp counselors, and other authority figures--so they can play an effective role in your child's life
- Understand problems such as ADHD, anxiety, and substance abuse
A guidebook for parenting courageously and responsibly--allowing your kids to be who they are while building structures that keep them safe--Drop the Worry Ball is a must for any parent who wishes to be and do their very best.
