‘Passionately seeks real answers to the tricky questions we all face … Bravo.’ Madonna King

When did we stop wanting to grow up? Why are we reaching out less and complaining more? What has sparked our growing skittishness at everyday annoyances, and what’s behind our frequent talk of ‘special’ and ‘deserving’?

What Happens to Our Kids When We Fail to Grow Up?, by bestselling author Maggie Hamilton, explains how to recognise when the child in us comes out to play, from wanting to be rescued all the time to relying on others to do the heavy lifting. With clear-eyed analysis, Hamilton provides insightful ideas and practical tools to make us less escapist and more resilient, and to better prime our kids for health, happiness and independence in this complex world.
