Julie Lythcott-Haims, former Dean of Freshmen at Stanford and mother of two herself, has been on a world tour promoting her book How to Raise an Adult in an effort to help today’s parents to, well, back off. Because “we” aren’t going to college, are “we”?
You can follow Julie on Twitter @deanjulie and get updates on the book at www.raiseanadult.com and chances are pretty good she’s coming to your town to talk if she hasn’t already. Learn more about the podcast she hosted on college admissions “Getting In” here: http://www.slate.com/articles/podcasts/getting_in.html
