Description

Dr. Leonard Sax’s *The Collapse of Parenting* is a must-read for all parents, according to Dr. Nancy Kehoe, author of *Wrestling with Our Inner Angels*. In this book, internationally recognized author Leonard Sax explores the growing rates of depression and anxiety among young people, linking these issues to a decline in parental authority. As a result, many children struggle with self-control and increasingly turn to their peers and social media for guidance.

Sax emphasizes that parents must reclaim their leadership role by setting clear limits on screen time, prioritizing family connections, and instilling values like humility and perspective. By doing so, parents can strengthen their relationships with their children and help them develop resilience and self-discipline.

This newly revised and updated edition includes fresh stories, new research, and additional recommendations to support parents navigating today’s challenging cultural landscape. Drawing on over three decades of experience as a family physician and psychologist, as well as insights from numerous interviews with children, parents, and educators, Sax provides practical strategies for helping children reach their full potential in an increasingly troubled world.
