How to Raise an Adult by Julie Lythcott-Haims examines the consequences of overparenting and the rise of “helicopter parenting.” The book argues that excessive control and constant intervention prevent children from developing independence, resilience, and real-world skills. Drawing from research and personal experience as a former Stanford dean, Lythcott-Haims explains how parents can step back while still offering support. She emphasizes allowing children to make mistakes, take responsibility, and build confidence through experience. The book provides practical advice for raising capable, self-reliant young adults who are prepared for life’s challenges instead of being dependent on constant parental guidance.
