How to raise kids who can handle the real world
Today’s Generation i Y (teens brought up with the Internet) and
Homelanders (children born after 9/11) are overexposed to
information at an earlier age than ever and paradoxically are
underexposed to meaningful relationships and real-life experiences.
Artificial Maturity addresses the problem of what to do when
parents and teachers mistake children’s superficial knowledge for
real maturity. The book is filled with practical steps that adults
can take to furnish the experiences kids need to balance their
abilities with authentic maturity.
* Shows how to identify the problem of artificial maturity in
Generation i Y and Homelanders
* Reveals what to do to help children balance autonomy,
responsibility, and information
* Includes a down-to-earth model for coaching and guiding youth
to true maturity
Artificial Maturity gives parents, teachers, and others
who work with youth a manual for understanding and practicing the
leadership kids so desperately need to mature in a healthy
fashion.
