And why are the results so bad?\nOur culture tells parents there’s one best way to raise kids: enroll them in a dozen activities, protect them from trauma, and get them into the most expensive college you can. If you can’t do that, don’t bother.\nHow is that going? Record rates of anxiety, depression, medication, debts, loneliness and more. In Family Unfriendly, bestselling author and Washington Examiner columnist Timothy P. Carney says it’s time to end this failed experiment in overparenting.\nHave more kids, have more fun, cancel the travel soccer games, let your kids wander off, and give them deeper sources of meaning than material success.\nThis is an old-fashioned view, but every day the evidence validates it. Drawing on rigorous research―both as a reporter and as a dad of six―Carney demonstrates why the parental anxiety endemic to modern parenting is so misguided. The high standards set for modern American parenting are unrealistic and setting parents―and our kids―up to fail.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harper","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42913286914132,"sku":"TBD-FBM-9780063236462","price":15.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/1479\/9188\/files\/812vgWCcaFL._SY522.jpg?v=1770481363","url":"https:\/\/wesavebooks.com\/products\/family-unfriendly-a-critical-examination-of-overparenting-and-its-consequences-006323646x","provider":"We Save Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
