It is often said that the primary job of a parent is not "to raise great kids" but, rather, "to raise great adults." This will be the primary theme of LEAD's 2017 keynote event featuring bestselling author, and Stanford Dean, Julie Lythcott-Haims. Find out how overparenting harms children, their stressed-out parents, and society at large; practical alternative strategies underline the importance of allowing children to make their own mistakes and develop the resilience, resourcefulness, and inner determination necessary for success. Relevant to parents of toddlers as well as of twenty-somethings - and of special value to parents of teens - this book is a rallying cry for those who wish to ensure that the next generation can take charge of their own lives with competence and confidence. Lake Forest Book Store has generously offered a 15% discount on the purchase of the book if you mention this event!
