"Kids These Days by Will Dobud and Nevin Harper challenges the over-analytic, pathologizing, self-absorbed focus on children and youth in today’s world. With a combination of quality scholarship, insights from a range of experts, and effective storytelling, the authors make a strong case to ‘back away from the developing child!’ The power of healthy (i.e., non-intrusive) adult presence balanced with unstructured play, exploratory opportunities, and the tolerance of discomfort can build confidence, create resilience and promote health and wellness. This is a crucial read for anyone living or working with children and youth. Highly recommended."
