Best-selling author Paul Tough digs deeply into big ideas, and that certainly is true in his latest book, The Years that Matter Most: How College Makes or Breaks Us. Paul spent six years exploring colleges in 21 states, including sitting through freshman calculus at the University of Texas and a philosophy class at Princeton. He interviewed faculty, SAT tutors and students from all walks of life, concluding that higher education as an engine of social mobility is breaking down.   Paul brings these issues to life through the chronicles of first-generation students trying to overcome barriers to admission to prestigious schools, community college students hoping to attain jobs that will pay the bills, and well-to-do students seeing their teen years defined by the anxiety that comes with intense parental pressure, high-stakes tests and frenetic schedules of résumé-building activities. He joins Marti & Erin to discuss highlights of what he learned and to offer action steps for college admissions, alumni, and public officials who make decisions on higher education funding.   WHY DO THE COLLEGE YEARS MATTER SO MUCH? What was your own path with regard to higher education and how did that work for you? How is that likely to be the same or different for your children? What ideas do you have for making good higher education attainable for the millions of young people who need it?   WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE COLLEGE YEARS? ❉ COLLEGE HEALTH TIPS: HOW TO MANAGE FOOD, BOOZE, STRESS, AND MORE.

My guest for this episode is the brilliant Julie Lythcott-Haims., the author of the New York Times' bestselling, and in my opinion, majorly game-changing-in-the-parenting-space book, How to Raise an Adult. She wrote it after noticing that prospective college students at Stanford University, where she was dean of admissions, were being over-parented and as a result, were lacking the resources to develop the resilience, resourcefulness, and inner determination necessary for success.In this episode, Julie and I talk about about what it takes for a child to be successful—looking at how we define success along the way—and explore what we as parents can do to help our child develop the agency they need to become self-actualized adults. I loved having this conversation with Julie and am still noodling on the many takeaways and aha moments I experienced. I hope you get a lot out of it. Julie Lythcott-Haims' How to Raise an Adult has been published in over two dozen countries and gave rise to a TED talk that became one of the top TED Talks of 2016 with over 3.5 million views and counting, as well as a forthcoming sequel on how to be an adult, for young adults. Two years later Julie published Real American: A Memoir, a critically-acclaimed and award-winning memoir which examines racism through her experience as a Black and biracial person. Things you'll learn from this episodeWhat is at the root of fear-based parentingWhy Julie says most parents are raising kids from a place of love, ego, and fearChallenges and hardships every child should face in order to be ready to be an adultHow we do our children a disservice when we “become” their default executive functioningHow we can (and need to) redefine what success looks likeThe connection between successful adults and a child doing chores (and how to get started if you're not doing it now)Why happiness in our kids stems from loveThe benefits of hands-on work for kids developing a sense of agencyHow to help our kids bolster their self-advocacy skills Resources mentioned for helping differently wired teens launchJulie Lythcott Haims' websiteHow to Raise an Adult: Break Free of the Overparenting Trap and Prepare Your Kid for Success Real American: A Memoir Julie's TED Talk: How to Raise Successful KidsJulie's TEDxGunnHighSchool Talk: Throw Out the Checklisted ChildhoodJulie's TEDxStanford Talk: Be Your Authentic SelfHow to Be An Adult Support the showConnect with Tilt Parenting Visit Tilt Parenting Take the free 7-Day Challenge Read a chapter of Differently Wired Follow Tilt on Twitter & Instagram

Your Turn: How to be an Adult with Julie Lythcott-Haims What does it mean to be an adult? In the twentieth century, psychologists came up with five markers of adulthood: finish your education, get a job, leave home, marry, and have children. Since then, every generation has been held to those same markers. Yet so much has changed about the world and living in it since that sequence was formulated. All of those markers are choices, and they're all valid, but any one person's choices along those lines do not make them more or less an adult. Being an adult, it turns out, is not about any particular checklist; it is instead a process, one you can get progressively better at over time, becoming more comfortable with uncertainty and gaining the knowhow to keep going. Julie Lythcott-Haims believes in humans and is deeply interested in what gets in our way. Her work encompasses writing, speaking, teaching, mentoring, and activism. Julie holds degrees from Stanford, Harvard Law, and California College of the Arts.

Adulting can be hard.  Julie Lythcott-Haims believes that statement is more than a meme. It’s the truth.  The transition from childhood to adulthood used to be clear: Finish your education, get a job, leave home, marry and have children. But the world has changed dramatically. Lythcott-Haims, a former dean at Stanford University and a mom to two young adults, says young people today lead different lives and have more freedoms — and thus, need updated guidance.   In her new book, “Your Turn: How to be an Adult,” she offers compassion, practical advice and personal stories for anyone struggling to “hashtag adult.” She shared that wisdom with host Kerri Miller Friday morning.  Guest: Julie Lythcott-Haims is an author, speaker and activist.

“Communication is such a delicate dance and kids need to emerge from childhood having practiced,” says Julie Lythcott-Haims, former associate vice provost of undergraduate education Stanford University. In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, lecturer and podcast host Matt Abrahams sits down with Lythcott-Haims to discuss her new book, Your Turn: How to be an Adult, and ideas on how to communicate with young people so they feel empowered to take on the various (and often intimidating) duties of adulthood. “Responsibility isn’t a bad thing,” she says. “Responsibility is actually an amazing thing. And I think we have to do a better job of narrating that truth.”Think Fast, Talk Smart is a podcast produced by Stanford Graduate School of Business. Each episode provides concrete, easy-to-implement tools and techniques to help you hone and enhance your communication skills.

Julie Lythcott-Haims is the author of the parenting bestseller How to Raise an Adult, which opened the minds of loving but hovering parents everywhere. Her new book is Your Turn: How To Be An Adult, which Julie calls "a compassionate beckoning into the freedoms and responsibilities of adulthood." Adulting is a mindset. That might explain why many of us whose drivers' licenses indicate grown-up status still don't feel ready to be in charge of anything– including the children with whom we have somehow been entrusted. But trying and failing doesn't mean you're not ready to be an adult. Failing and trying again, Lythcott-Haims argues, is what makes us adults in the first place. This episode is full of advice on how to move the parent/child paradigm (gradually) from vertical to horizontal– and on why becoming an adult is actually a path to joy. As Julie explains in this episode: "Whether we're 8 or we're 18, or 28 or 38 or 48, we are yearning to make our way down a path that is ours to lay. We want to be loved and cared about along the way, but we do not want someone else to lead our lives for us."

As our lives are increasingly controlled and organized by smartphones and apps and our relationships maintained on social media, discussions about the impact of technology on our privacy, kids and families, race and gender roles, and democracy have taken on new urgency.

Growing up means making mistakesThe problem with this, according to Julie Lythcott-Haims, the former dean of freshmen at Stanford University and author of "How to Raise an Adult: Break Free of the Overparenting Trap and Prepare Your Kid for Success," is that parents never let their children grow up. Growing up means making your own decisions, and sometimes, mistakes, she told The Times.“The point is to prepare the kid for the road, instead of preparing the road for the kid,” Lythcott-Haims said. Lythcott-Haims said it's difficult for snowplow parents to break the habit of being a child's fixer, always plowing away all the difficulties."If you’re doing it in high school, you can’t stop at college,” she said. "If you’re doing it in college, you can’t stop when it comes to the workplace. You have manufactured a role for yourself of always being there to handle things for your child, so it gets worse because your young adult is ill-equipped to manage the basic tasks of life."Lythcott-Haims said parents eventually have to take a back seat and let their kids drive their own lives. "You can’t just arrive them at the future you want for them. They have to do the work to build the skills," she said. Today on the podcast we are joined by Steve SimmonsEducational psychologist 30 years as business and leadership coach, former school psychologist and director of special ed, co-founder and head success coach - Launch-Your-Life.com, Steve has spent a lot of time working with and understanding teens.

SUMMARY Julie Lythcott-Haims, former Dean of Freshman at Stanford University, offers her New York Times bestselling anti-parenting manifesto, How to Raise an Adult: Break Free of the Overparenting Trap and Prepare Your Kid for Success. In the book, Lythcott-Haims explores how and why hyper-attentive parenting, or helicopter parenting, has taken parents and their children hostage in this country. This trend of well-intentioned parents who hover is creating real-life dangers for 21st-century smart kids who can’t even make their own beds. Their parents have been lured into creating "check-listed childhoods" or "redshirting" their kindergartners. Left inept in essential life skills because their parents watch, handle, fix, and organize everything for them, these kids are unprepared to work, lead, and take their rightful place as the next generation of adults. So, here to stop the madness of overprotecting, overscheduling, and overparenting is Lythcott-Haims. She speaks with the compassion of a parent yet the unapologetic urgency of someone who spent a decade observing some of our brightest young people fail to launch. In short, Lythcott-Haims teaches us how to change the definition of success and how to raise an adult. KEY POINTS “Existential impotence” – a state of being among young adults who remain, effectively, small children-in-arms lovingly attended to almost 24/7 and who feel perfectly content to be cared for by parents indefinitely Helicopter parenting is borne of five causes during the 1980s: 1- the playdate, 2 - the self-esteem movement, 3 - “stranger danger” 4 - seatbelt and bicycle helmets laws, and 5 - A Nation at Risk. Three types of overparenting: overprotecting, overdirecting, and hand-holding.  The shift to round-the-clock parenting has short-term gains but long-term losses. Four-step method for teaching children skills: do it for them, do it with them, watch them do it, and they do it themselves. Baby Boomers started helicopter parenting, and the movement has now continued into the present when Millennials are parenting. Give kids unstructured time for free play with no adult supervision. Kids are more likely to be harmed as a passenger in a car than to be abducted. Normalizing struggle by allowing small setbacks to teach is what leads to having autonomous kids and independent adults. QUOTES FROM LYTHCOTT-HAIMES “The most loving thing we can do as parents is to prepare ourselves to fend without us.” “Short of the disasters that can befall them, we’re supposed to let life teach our kids lessons.” “We have to as a community, as a neighborhood, as a school district, as a town—we have to call time out…and blow the whistle. We need to do things differently!” “Free play is essential the developmental wellness of children, so this is not some fuzzy thing…They will be mentally unwell (compromised) if their childhood doesn’t include a pretty regular dose of free play.” “A long-term study conducted over decades [the Harvard Study] shows that a kid who did chores in childhood is more likely to be professionally successful later in life. Why? Because chores build a work ethic and also a mindset of ‘Pitch in, and be useful!’” “What’s really best for a child is to figure out, ‘What do I want? What am I good at? Let me craft my life accordingly.’” Connect with Julie Lythcott-Haims on her website, and check out her wildly popular TEDTalk (with over 4 million views) about how to raise a successful kid without overparenting.

In this illuminating conversation, Julie Lythcott-Haims shares the dangers and inevitable pitfalls of overparenting and the consequences on burgeoning young adults. Offering personal anecdotes about her own parenting faux pas, Lythcott-Haims warns parents about the unintended long-term consequences of hyper-managing their children and offers exceptional advice on how to pivot one’s parenting style toward the most important child-raising objective: capable men and women in charge of their own lives. Lythcott-Haims is a graduate of Stanford University and Harvard Law School the author of the New York Times best-selling book How to Raise an Adult: Break Free of the Overparenting Trap and Prepare Your Kid for Success (2015). She is deeply interested in what prevents people from living meaningful, fulfilling lives.

How to Raise an Adult has been published in over two dozen countries and gave rise to a TED talk that became one of the top TED Talks of 2016 with over three million views.

On Episode 140 of the Mama Bear Dares Podcast, co-hostesses Leslie and Tesi sit down and discuss a powerful TED Talk given by mama bear Julie Lythcott-Haims that left them both nodding their heads with great enthusiasm.

Julie Lythcott-Haims has written a powerful memoir of poetic prose about growing up as the daughter of a white mother and African-American father. A former Stanford dean who lives and writes in California, Lythcott-Haims describes what she calls the micro-aggressions and blunt insults she experienced growing up in largely white communities. She reads excerpts from her new book, "Real American," including one about a white Baltimore police officer who married a black woman. She also talks about Donald J. Trump, Colin Kaepernick and the National Football League.Links:https://www.julielythcotthaims.com/

Real American: A Memoir (Henry Holt & Company) Julie Lythcott-Haims, the New York Times bestselling author of How to Raise an Adult, has written a different kind of book this time out – a deeply personal, biting and affecting account of her life growing up as a biracial black woman in America in Real American: A Memoir Bringing a brisk, poetic sensibility to her prose, Lythcott-Haims stirringly evokes her personal battle with the low self-esteem that American racism routinely inflicts on people of color. The only child of an African-American father and a white British mother, she shows indelibly how so-called "micro" aggressions in addition to blunt force insults can puncture a person's inner life with a thousand sharp cuts. Real American expresses also, through Lythcott-Haims’s path to self-acceptance, the healing power of community in overcoming the hurtful isolation of being incessantly  considered "the other" Real American is a fearless and powerful memoir. Lythcott-Haims’s eloquent words deserve to be studied, memorized, and repeated. Here is a book that should be read again and again, and then once more after that. Praise for Real Americans “A compelling, incisive and thoughtful examination of race, origin and what it means to be called an American. Engaging, heartfelt and beautifully written, Lythcott-Haims explores the American spectrum of identity with refreshing courage and compassion.” —Bryan Stevenson, New York Times bestselling author of Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption “Real American is a courageous, achingly honest meditation on what it means to come to consciousness as a mixed race child and adult in a nation where Black lives weren't meant to matter.” —Michelle Alexander, New York Times bestselling author of The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Color Blindness “Breaks the silence on what it means to grow up mixed-race in America. Her spare but powerful prose has an emotional rawness that will profoundly resonate with all readers and help many feel a little less alone.” ―Heidi W. Durrow, New York Times bestselling author of The Girl Who Fell from the Sky “A cathartic and bold truth-telling.” ―Danzy Senna, bestselling author of Caucasia and New People “A powerful, honest book that should be required reading for everyone.” —Anita Amirrezvani, author of The Blood of Flowers and Equal of the Sun “To write with such an open heart about race and Blackness takes great courage. To do so in prose that is at once elegant and raw takes great talent.” —Ayelet Waldman, bestselling author of Bad Mother and of A Really Good Day “A true achievement . . . so much more than a personal memoir . . . [Lythcott-Haims] channels the shrewdness of Eula Biss and the compassion of Ta-Nehisi Coates.” ―Lee Daniel Kravetz, international bestselling author of Strange Contagion and Supersurvivors “Powerful . . . a memoir that [illuminates] the psychic cost of racism to those who are cast as ‘other.’ The journey of self-healing and the empowerment  . . .  is a story of triumph from which all of us can learn.” —Beverly Daniel Tatum, author of Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria? and Can We Talk About Race? “Stands for, and stands up for, Americans who are questioned, confronted, disregarded and unnerved by our citizen country . . . Real American will be one of those books that is passed from hand to hand, with passages marked where readers find strong words that speak truth.” ―A.J. Verdelle, author of The Good Negress “. . . shows once again, plainly and unforgettably, that if you are Black in America, it does not matter who you are, racism will come knocking. Lythcott-Haims . . . . Real American is the story of that insidious harm and of a woman who became alert to the American racism within herself and fought back. . . . not only an excellent, satisfying read but a book that can help us “stay woke”—as we must—to the sometimes stealthy and always life-threatening danger of racism, so that we all can fight back.” —U.S.Representative Barbara Lee (D-CA) Julie Lythcott-Haims served as dean of freshmen and undergraduate advising at Stanford University, where she received the Dinkelspiel Award for her contributions to the undergraduate experience. She holds a BA from Stanford, a JD from Harvard Law School, and an MFA in writing from California College of the Arts. She is a member of the San Francisco Writers’ Grotto, and resides in the Bay Area with her husband, their two teenagers, and her mother.

From BCB... http://bestofbcb.org/wu-257-seminar-on-raising-adults/ A seminar entitled Raising an Adult: Moving to Action will be held April 23rd at the Bainbridge High School gymnasium. Organized by the Bainbridge Healthy Youth Alliance, the seminar is designed to follow up on issues raised by author Julie Lythcott-Haims' talk in February about her book, How to Raise an Adult. In her book and her talk on BI, Lythcott-Haims spoke of academically accomplished students who were poorly equipped to handle adult life on their own.  She noticed that many high school students entering college were over-stressed, over-scheduled, and under-prepared to handle life away from home and parents.   As a follow-up to her informative and motivating talk, the Bainbridge Healthy Youth Alliance, of which Raising Resilience is one of the founding partners, has organized a seminar to: Connect with local teens working on their own culture change project Learn what helps youth develop their own internal guidance system Walk away with specific strategies you can put into immediate action Meet other parents in a fun and engaging learning environment All parents, grandparents, educators, therapists and anyone that touches the lives of youth are invited to attend this hands-on, practical 2-1/2 hour seminar, to be held April 23rd from 10 am to 12:30 in the Bainbridge High School gymnasium. Register for this free event today at www.BIHealthyYouth.org Credits: BCB host: Channie Peters; audio editor: Tim Bird; social media publisher: Diane Walker.

A local group called Raising Resilience is bringIng an acclaimed author to meet Bainbridge parents and high school teens. In this special 20-minute podcast, we meet that dynamic author, Julie Lythcott-Haims, and Cezanne Allen of Raising Resilience. Julie, as a New York Times bestselling author of “How to Raise an Adult: Break Free of the Overparenting Trap and Prepare Your Kid for Success”, will be speaking to parents, educators and interested adults on Wednesday, February 3rd at 7:30pm at the Commons auditorium of Bainbridge High School. She will also address students at BHS the following morning. From her 10 years as Dean of Freshmen at Stanford University, Lythcott-Haims noticed a significant increase in parental involvement in students' lives. Parents were exerting increasing control over their children's academic work, extracurricular and career choices, and daily life decision making. She noticed “increasing numbers of students who, as a result of hyperattentive parenting, lacked a strong sense of self and were poorly equipped to handle the demands of adult life.” Such over-involved parenting, affectionately known as “helicopter parents” (for their hovering prowess), has been an evolving phenomena since the Baby Boom generation began raising children. The effect has been kids who feel under pressure to succeed in terms they have not yet defined, but who do not learn life skills to succeed in the most basic ways because their parents have taken care of every little thing. Lythcott-Haims' book offers an alternative to over-parenting, over-helping, over-scheduling. Clearly, her message has resonated strongly across the country since she is frequently asked to speak in communities everywhere, is being interviewed on the Today Show on January 25th, and has done a number of TEDx talks. Raising Resilience and the PTSO are co-sponsoring bringing Julie Lythcott-Haims to Bainbridge Island to speak about the important and valuable lessons we need to hear to help our kids thrive and grow on their own into adept, successful adults.   Register at the Raising Resilience website for what promises to be an inspiring talk. Copies of the book will be available for sale and signing that evening. Credits: BCB host: Channie Peters; BCB audio editor: Tim Bird; BCB social media publisher: Barry Peters.
