The Self-Driven Child: The Science and Sense of Giving Your Kids More Control Over Their Lives

by William Stixrud and Ned Johnson

star4.32

Stixrud, a clinical neuropsychologist, and Johnson, a teen coach, argue that the best antidote to the stress epidemic among children and adolescents is giving them a greater sense of control over their own lives. They draw on brain science and self-determination theory to show that autonomy reduces the harmful effects of chronic stress on the developing brain and builds the internal motivation needed for lasting success.
