As parents, we want our children to take responsibility for their schoolwork, their chores, and their choices. We want them to grow into independent adults, but when we see them struggling, we sometimes have a tendency to step in and problem-solve, telling them exactly what to do or even doing things for them ourselves. The problem is the more controlling we are with our children, the more out of control they feel. When our children feel out of control, problems big and small follow—from more tantrums in thwarted toddlers to a higher risk of drug and alcohol use in adolescence. So how do we support our children’s autonomy while maintaining boundaries and not losing our minds in the process?

From clinical psychologist Emily Edlynn, PhD, comes a flexible parenting framework that can apply to every family and every parental relationship. With Autonomy-Supportive Parenting, you can build trust in your child and trust in yourself.

I heard the author interviewed on a podcast recently and was very interested in the book. I wish they had had the author read the book – her voice was warm and inviting – this voice sounds like a robot, which is very distracting. The content here is great though.

Great content, robot voice

Just a bunch of stats, it’s like listening to a research paper. I was hoping for more concise, structured and tangible examples of what to do or not to do under this type of parenting. There are a few here and there but it’s not worth sifting thru the sales pitch : the reason I’m reading is because it sounds like a good approach, but I feel like instead of getting to the point she’s preaching to the choir. Disappointed. Halfway thru the book I gave up.

Too theoretical
