| Abstract | "Based on numerous interviews with a diverse group of mothers of teenagers and young adults, Letting Go moves beyond popular views and offers a new understanding of parenting that demonstrates the challenging situations parents must navigate today as they guide their children through adolescence and young adulthood. Parents are expected to continually monitor the lives of their teens and young adults and see that they safely transition to adulthood and gain the credentials they need to succeed in an era when reaching adulthood has become more demanding. At the same time, parents must pull back and "let go" so their teens and young adults learn to take more responsibility for their lives. The negotiations with teens and young adults over control, trust, and letting go that mothers describe in this book offer an invaluable portrayal of the uncertainties and questions that underlie the day-to-day lives of contemporary parents"-- Provided by publisher. |
