Ryan ★★★★★

Finally, a parenting book that doesn't make me feel judged but still challenges my assumptions. The way Levine reframes "overparenting" as a real block to resilience hit home for me. I've already changed how I handle homework battles.

Aurora O. ★★★★★

I was skeptical about yet another parenting book, but the way Levine identifies specific myths and then dismantles them with real research really hooked me. The chapter on how overprotective parenting backfires was spot-on for our family.

Ryan ★★★★★

As a parent, I was blown away by how Levine dismantles myths I didn't even realize I was believing—the chapter on over-scheduling alone shifted my perspective. Her advice feels genuinely practical and not preachy, which is rare for books in this category. I've already recommended it to two other mom
