"How to raise an adult: Break free of the overparenting trap and prepare your kid for success" by Julie Lythcott-Haims (2015) (http://bit.ly/3rvCa11)

“Depriving our kids of the chance to struggle and to learn to persevere, while we focus instead on prepping them to be the number one at all things and tell them how awesome they are, is a prime example of our best intentions gone awry. Perhaps we didn’t realize that ‘protecting’ our kids from falls and failures could hurt them. But it can. We need to redefine success as being a good and kind person, and as making a strong effort whether they ultimately win or lose. We need to help our children gain resilience to cope when things don’t go their way” (p. 230).
