About this product

All parents, regardless of age, income, or marital status, have the same goal--to do the best possible for their child. But despite one's good intentions, the life-enhancing abundance heaped on our children often becomes more than they need or can handle, and the line is crossed into overindulgence. In How Much is Enough?, best-selling parenting and family experts Clarke, Dawson, and Bredehoft offer an in-depth look at how damaging overindulgence is to children, affecting their ability to learn many of the important life skills they need to thrive as adults. In warm and empathetic language, the authors reveal the three different ways children are overindulged (giving too much, being over-nurturing, and providing soft structure), guide parents in determining whether they're doing something overindulgent, and show them how to do things differently. The truth is that overindulgence is not the badge of a bad parent; in fact, it comes directly from having a good and generous heart. Based on solid, groundbreaking research involving 1,200 parents and their children, How Much is Enough? gives parents the insight and advice they need to parent in an effective and loving way and put their children on track for a happy and successful life.

How Much is Enough?
I bought this book because the author is awesome. Her books have been conversional for me. I did not buy it because I thought I was indulgent with my children. I was pleasantly surprised to find I had more to learn. Parents should read ALL of Jean Illsley Clarkes books. The parenting she encourages is common sense that most of us were not raised with. How Much is Enough? isn't just about toys or goodies, it is about how much parents give to their children in time, talent, emotions, affection, and of course, material goods. Even if you think you are a fair parent, I recommend the book. We are an indulgent society and we could be so much MORE if we had less of everything, recognizing that we have so little time we should spend it on what is most important.
