This chapter explores the changing landscape of parenting styles, contrasting the freedoms of previous generations with today's trend of intensive parenting. It discusses the implications of overprotection on children's mental health and independence, while examining the balance parents must strike between guidance and fostering self-reliance.
I am so thrilled to have family estrangement expert Dr. Joshua Coleman on the show. I had the pleasure of meeting him on the set of a TV show we were invited to do and on my way there, I listened to his book, Rules of Estrangement, and I think you'll love it.
I invited Dr. Coleman on to talk further about it because cutting contact with parents is something many of you have painfully decided to do, and Dr. Coleman shares his wisdom *and* personal experience with us here.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
