Product Description
The Idle Parent is Tom Hodgkinson's radical parenting remedy against stifled, mollycoddled children.
Modern life is wrecking childhood. Why can't we just leave our kids alone?
If you've ever wondered why so many of today's children are unhappy, spoilt, stressed and selfish, then the answers and the remedy are to be found in The Idle Parent.
Tom Hodgkinson wants us to leave our kids be, to give them space and time to grow into self-reliant, confident, inquisitive, happy and free people. Full of practical tips on what to do and (more importantly) what not to do, Tom will not only help your kids be happier but also help you, their parents, live happier and more fulfilled lives.
