Synopsis

A guidebook for parenting courageously and responsibly by allowing your kids to be who they are while building structures that keep them safe, Drop the Worry Ball is a must for all parents who wish to be and do their very best.

How do you avoid being a helicopter parent-and raise well adjusted, truly independent children? In an age of entitlement, where most kids think they deserve the best of everything, most parents are afraid of failing their children. Not only are they all too willing to provide every material comfort, they've also become overly involved in their children's lives, becoming meddlesome managers, rather than sympathetic advocates. In Drop the Worry Ball, authors Alex Russell and Tim Falconer offer a refreshing approach to raising well-adjusted children who are also independent and unafraid to make mistakes.
