Will I love The Price of Privilege?

People always ask me what one does at what stage of a child’s development. I always send them to Madeline Levine’s book to understand what their children are experiencing and what they’re capable of at different stages.

She’s candid about how living lives of affluence can negatively impact our children and what we can do to connect, love, and invest in their growth.

Over and over I urge my clients to read this book before they think they need to…even if they’re not “privileged.” In it we learn the real-life effects of over-privilege, of giving our kids too much, and more, of not expecting enough from them. Learning the critical connections between the choices we make for our kids and their emotional development certainly helps any parent to be the parent she hoped to be.
