- Synopsis
- Levine, a clinical psychologist and lecturer on child and adolescent issues, describes how elements of affluence and the pressure to excel in school affect children in negative ways and hinder them from creating a sense of self. She discusses problems with materialism, what a healthy "self" is, and parenting challenges and strategies for different ages, as well as ways to promote autonomy, work on discipline and control, and what they need to think about in terms of their own lives and selves. The final chapter focuses on what mothers can do.
