Why are many young people today so quick to leave childhood behind, but so slow to become adults?In this wise and compassionate book, Terri Apter debunks outdated and misguided ideas about maturity: Acting in the name of love, many parents withdraw emotional or practical support, thinking it best for a son or daughter to solve his or her own problems-even to suffer alone the consequences of mistakes.
