As we watch so many of you pack your teens off for university we felt it was the perfect time to bring back this epside! As Dean at Stanford, Julie Lythcott-Haims witnessed firsthand the toll that overparenting takes—students who were anxious, depressed, and unprepared to handle life when things didn’t go their way.

Julie is the New York Times bestselling author of How to Raise an Adult, the groundbreaking manifesto against helicopter parenting.
