Am I Doing Too Much for My Child?

Overview

Filled with practical advice, examples, and scenarios to which any reader can relate, this manual aims to help parents, guardians, teachers, and caregivers identify when to do more for the children in their care, as well as when to take a step back. Elizabeth Crary describes four levels of support typical for children and demonstrates how anyone who cares for children can shift from the nurturer role so important in the early years to teacher, coach, and finally to consultant. This is an ideal tool for all readers, whether they are at the start of their parenting or caregiving journey or anticipating the empty nest.
