Yet there are ways to reverse these disheartening trends. Until we are clearer about our core values and the parenting choices that are most likely to lead to authentic, and not superficial, success, we will continue to raise exhausted, externally driven, and emotionally impaired children who believe they are only as good as their last performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfronting the real issues behind why we push some of our kids to the breaking point while dismissing the talents and interests of many others, Levine shows us how to shift our focus from the excesses of hyperparenting and the unhealthy reliance on our children for status and meaning to a parenting style that concentrates on both enabling academic success and developing a sense of purpose, well-being, and connection in our children's lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLevine, Madeline:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMadeline Levine, PhD, \u003c\/strong\u003e is a psychologist, consultant, and educator; the author of the \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e bestsellers \u003cem\u003eTeach Your Children Well\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Price of Privilege\u003c\/em\u003e; and a cofounder of Challenge Success, a project of the Stanford School of Education that addresses education reform, student well-being, and parent education.
