Publisher's summary

Drawing on more than 15 years experience as a clinical psychiatrist, Dr. Guthrie discusses the fine line between good parenting and "pressure parenting". She concludes that if parents focus on their sons' and daughters' healthy development, families can avoid the backlash that results from the current trend of demanding perfection from children.

Booooring

I listened to 20 minutes of the same thing about how rich people pressure their kids to succeed. I wish I hadn't wasted my credits on this book. :0{
