An eye-opening guide to the world’s best parenting strategies

Research reveals that American kids lag behind in academic achievement, happiness, and wellness. Christine Gross-Loh exposes culturally determined norms we have about “good parenting,” and asks, Are there parenting strategies other countries are getting right that we are not?

  • “Hoverparenting” can damage a child’s resilience.

  • Our obsession with self-esteem may limit a child’s potential.
