Permission to Parent

Permission to Parent (2014) by psychiatrist Robin Berman argues that parents can be loving while staying firmly in charge of their children. Berman says many parents, rejecting the strict style they grew up with, swung too far toward pleasing their children with praise and few limits. Drawing on her clinical work and advice from teachers, doctors and parents, she explains how clear boundaries, follow-through and a strong bond build real self-esteem and resilience.
