Summary:
Physician and psychologist Leonard Sax documents the dramatic decline in the achievement and psychological health of American children. Why are so many kids overweight? Why are so many kids on medication? It can all be traced to parents letting their kids call the shots. But there is hope. Sax shows how parents can help their kids by reasserting their authority -- by limiting time with screens, by encouraging better habits at the dinner table and at bedtime, and by teaching humility and perspective. Dr. Leonard Sax is the author of Boys Adrift and Girls on the Edge.
