The Self-Driven Child
William Stixrud & Ned Johnson
Why do capable children lose motivation, struggle under pressure, or resist help—and how can parents support them without taking over? Stixrud and Johnson argue that a child’s sense of control shapes stress, learning, and independence. The book offers practical ways to share decisions, reduce pressure, support motivation and rest, and prepare for school, technology, tests, and adulthood.
