My parents raised me as a man.: #19 things every parent must teach their son

By Robert K. Pittman

A strong manifesto that exposes the downsides of helicopter parenting and brings forth an alternative philosophy for bringing preteens and adolescents to self-sufficient early adulthood.
My parents raised me as a man, Robert k. Pittman draws on research, conversations with admissions officers, educators, and employers, and her insights as a mother and as a student dean to highlight how overparenting harms children, their stressed-out parents, and society at large. While empathizing with the parental hopes and, especially, fears that lead to overhelping, Robert k. Pittman offers practical alternative strategies that 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 twentysomethings-and of special significance to parents of the teens-this book is a rallying cry for those who desire to ensure that the next generation can take care of their own lives with competence and confidence.

For parents who seek to cultivate strong self-reliance instead of hollow self-esteem, My parents raised me as a man is an ideal book at the right time.
