Raising Future Adults by David Krasky is a comprehensive guide for parents. Spanning topics from mental health to academic performance, the book offers practical strategies grounded in contemporary and everyday challenges. The author explores modern parenting dilemmas, such as the debate between helicopter and free-range parenting and the impact of screens on teen mental health. Chapters like “Helping Children Learn How to Self-Motivate and Persist Under Pressure” and “Just Wait: How Delaying Gratification Might be the Most Important Skill You Teach Your Children” provide actionable advice, emphasizing skills like executive functioning and emotional regulation. I appreciate how Krasky urges parents to let children feel their feelings and also promotes emotional resilience. He also tackles tough topics like anxiety, ADHD, and autism with sensitivity, offering tools to support children without overwhelming them.
David Krasky’s approach is balanced, addressing both the emotional and practical aspects of parenting with clarity and empathy. He emphasizes that growth is painful but necessary, encouraging parents to embrace challenges as opportunities for development, not just for their children but for themselves, fostering personal growth that makes them better parents and better people. As a teacher and clinical therapist, I can say that Raising Future Adults is the guide that all parents need to read. It covers nearly every topic you can think of when it comes to parenting. Krasky’s evidence-based insights, combined with his focus on adapting to generational shifts, make this a valuable resource. I highly recommend this book to parents seeking to encourage independence and mental wellness in their children, equipping them to thrive in an ever-evolving world.
