PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT | How to Raise an Adult in Times of Crisis
Upon its release in 2015, Julie Lythcott-Haims’ provocative manifesto, How to Raise an Adult, turned helicopter parenting on its head and offered a new path to parenting independent children to self-sufficient adulthood. Now in 2021, parents are facing very different realities like remote learning, work from home, and the confluence of multiple crises.
