Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
From award-winning author Ken Ginsburg comes this new work which explores an innovative idea in parenting: "The Lighthouse Parenting Strategy." This strategy answers 2 of the toughest questions with which parents struggle: 1) How do I give my child the unconditional love he needs to thrive, while also holding him to high expectations? and 2)How do I protect my child while also letting her learn life's lessons? This content includes some of the proven concepts based on positive youth development and resilience and combines new research with expert opinion to help parents consider how to approach these tough questions. Perspectives from over 500 teen interviews are also part of this groundbreaking work.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Unconditional love versus high expectations -- Protection versus learning from life's lessons -- The voice of youth -- Rebooting: Moving toward the relationship you hope to have.
Offering essential tips on fostering resilience, this book helps parents understand how they can balance unconditional love and still set high expectations for their children, as well as recognize when to set boundaries and when to get out of kids' ways so they can learn lessons firsthand. The authors offer parents ways to understand why helicopter or "tiger" parenting undermines successful development, be a stable beacon their children will turn to for guidance and self measurement, build the kind of relationship they hope to have with their child, and reduce their children's anxiety (and their own!) as they venture out into the world of adulthood.
