And yet, it is parents lack of self-awareness and confused priorities that are dangerously undermining children s development.Through the author s own original field research, including hundreds of rich, revealing conversations with children, parents, teachers, and coaches, a surprising picture emerges.Parents intense focus on their children s happiness is turning many children into self-involved, fragile conformists.The suddenly widespread desire of parents to be closer to their children a heartening trend in many ways often undercuts kids morality.Our fixation with being great parents and our need for our children to reflect that greatness can actually make them feel ashamed for failing to measure up.
