Helicopter parents—the kind that continue to hover even in college—are one of the most ridiculed figures of twenty-first-century parenting, criticized for creating entitled young adults who boomerang back home. But do involved parents really damage their children and burden universities? In this book, sociologist Laura T. Hamilton illuminates the lives of young women and their families to ask just what role parents play during the crucial college years. Hamilton vividly captures the parenting approaches of mothers and fathers from all walks of life—from a CFO for a Fortune 500 company to a waitress at a roadside diner. As she shows, parents are guided by different visions of the ideal college experience, built around classed notions of women’s work/family plans and the ideal age to “grow up.” Some are intensively involved and hold adulthood at bay to cultivate specific traits: professional helicopters, for instance, help develop the skills and credentials that will advance their daughters’ careers, while pink helicopters emphasize appearance, charm, and social ties in the hopes that women will secure a wealthy mate. In sharp contrast, bystander parents—whose influence is often limited by economic concerns—are relegated to the sidelines of their daughter’s lives. Finally, paramedic parents—who can come from a wide range of class backgrounds—sit in the middle, intervening in emergencies but otherwise valuing self-sufficiency above all. Analyzing the effects of each of these approaches with clarity and depth, Hamilton ultimately argues that successfully navigating many colleges and universities without involved parents is nearly impossible, and that schools themselves are increasingly dependent on active parents for a wide array of tasks, with intended and unintended consequences. Altogether, Parenting to a Degree offers an incisive look into the new—and sometimes problematic—relationship between students, parents, and universities.

For Cathy, motherhood became an avenue for personal growth and awareness. She worked passionately and intentionally to develop a parenting approach which blended traditional values with empowerment and alternative methods. Motherhood became a quest to identify her true beliefs and deliberately pass them onto her children. Continually in a state of self-reflection, she asked herself: how can I ensure that my children learn to value family unity alongside independent thought? Cathy read, researched, inquired, tried, failed and tried again to discover her approach to motherhood. Cathy’s ultimate goal for her children was to foster love, joy, creativity, dignity, and community. She worked tirelessly to cultivate respect for all people and recognition that all opinions have value. Within the University of Motherhood lies the story of her journey from childhood to motherhood. Cathy hopes that readers experience as much joy and inspiration reading as she had writing about her many adventures and discoveries.

The steady decline in student academic performance, self-esteem, personal responsibility, and graduation rate inspired certified parenting educator Deborah L. Kelly, MEd, CPE, to uncover the cause and to discover remedies. Investigating back through her years of teaching, parenting, and interacting with other parents, provided the insight she needed to create this recipe for parents to use in the home to support their students' success in life. Environment, otherwise known as "nurture," plays the greatest role in the cause-and-effect relationship between children and their propensity to reach their academic potential. Her analysis reveals that the key to improving students' performance at school is the creation of a family home environment that encourages learning and curiosity about the world. This guide serves to help parents do just that. It provides twenty-six tips for a lifestyle conducive to producing a capable, responsible, nonviolent, healthy child who is eager and willing to learn. Covering various stages of development, from birth to high school graduation, this concise list will be a constant companion, ready to give expert parenting ideas, advice, and strategies for improving and maintaining your entire family's well-being. So dive in as a family, and enjoy the journey toward academic success!

The preface of this book is to share some tidbits that I have learned over 28 years of teaching and 20 years of parenting. I hope that any parent or teacher can find motivation, ideas, and hope from this work. It is not an associate's degree, bachelor's degree, or master's degree that equips you to handle being a parent or a teacher. The only way to prepare yourself is to care about children and never give up on them. Students are a precious gift that thousands of parents entrust to teachers every year. If you are a parent, our children are unique gifts that God has entrusted to us. It is your willingness to learn new things, try new things, and open your hearts to care about the young people assigned to you every single day. They will be your guide and abiding passion. They will steal your energy and then replenish it with the energy they give you when they laugh at your jokes, engage in their learning, and hang on to your words.

For some kids, school offers a positive and engaging experience. For others, it's a boring, stressful, and frustrating waste of time. If your child is in the second category, why keep tormenting them? Instead, why not help them find an educational environment where they feel genuinely motivated, excited, and empowered? In this eye-opening book, Blake Boles makes the case for leaving conventional school and taking one of the many alternative paths through K-12 that exist today. He addresses parents' major concerns about unconventional education -- Can my kids still go to college? Will they still be employable? How will they learn to work hard? -- while highlighting the hidden benefits of self-directed learning, such as improved parent-child relationships, a more balanced decision-making process regarding college, and a heightened sense of autonomy and connection. Drawing upon 15 years of work as a mentor and guide for adolescents in alternative and experiential learning environments -- as well as his own unconventional life path -- Boles weaves together narrative, theory, and research to build a powerful argument for granting children unusual levels of freedom and responsibility.

You don't have to go to college. That's very easy to say, and very hard to believe. The expectation of a college degree has become a traditional aspect of American parenting. A college diploma has become such a popular symbol of personal success and culture that 66 percent of U.S. high school graduates go to college, up from 14 percent only sixty years ago. But out of all the college students in America, only 26 percent get degrees after six years. Why have we come to believe that college is right for everyone, or that our children should go there right after high school? With a college education now costing an average of a hundred thousand dollars, maybe it's time for American parents to reconsider: do you really need college to succeed? As a middle-class parent, Linda Lee assumed that her son would attend a prestigious college and graduate in four years with high grades. Isn't that what all children of intelligent, middle-class parents do? Fifty thousand dollars later, after having seen every grade from A to F--and a few more, including W and I--Lee realized that her son was not ready for college. She was shocked to discover that his experience is not an exception but the rule: only 26 percent of students receive a bachelor's degree within six years. Why, then, are parents led to believe that their children must go to college right away? Why have we come to believe that college is right for everyone? Why isn't there as much focus on the alternatives to college as there is on getting into a good school? Success Without College is a landmark book. Linda Lee, an editor and writer for the "New York Times, reveals the surprising facts of why many bright kids are not suitedfor college (or at least not right after high school), and she explains to readers why this is happening. She provides profiles of students and parents from around the country who have found creative, positive solutions to their college dilemma; she interviews deans, admissions counselors, and other experts from the most esteemed schools and organizations in the country; and she offers suggestions for what parents can do if a child doesn't want to go to college right away, or isn't ready to get the most from the college experience.

Now in its second edition, How's Your Family Really Doing? draws from extensive new research to highlight ten essential keys that define successful families. Providing practical tools for families in any stage of the life cycle, it is concise, engaging, and designed for working moms and dads who are often too busy to pore through lengthier works. Winner of the Book of the Year Award: Foreword Magazine, and The Eric Hoffer Award, How's Your Family Really Doing? can help you to: -Learn about healthy families and ways to bring out the best in one other.-Identify family strengths and areas needing improvement. -Facilitate conversations about desired changes. -Strengthen your skills with dozens of tips and tools. ?-Identify and overcome the effects of past influences. As a society, we have been inundated with “how to books,” typically focused on symptoms that one or more family members are experiencing such as anxiety, depression, school problems, out of control behaviors, addictions, etc. But parents buying books about specific symptoms or challenges are often frustrated when trying new techniques without success. That's because these books fail to include what else may be going on in the family that can create or maintain problem behaviors. In contrast, this guidebook provides the reader with a checklist of the most important, underlying “family factors” that can add to efforts at change.The book was conceptualized and written to be more than just a parenting book. It can be used as a reference—like an encyclopedia of family relationships that can be turned to at pivotal moments in the family life cycle. The tips and tools can help family members regardless of whether the kids are still growing up or have left the nest. Equally appropriate for families with toddlers, teens or grandparents, evaluation and change in families is aided by the input of as many participants and generations as possible. It can be used as a pre-marital tool, as preparation for the birth of a child, at a time when a child is symptomatic and the family wants to know why, at the blending of two new families, or at a break-up or a geographical move.

Excerpt from Nurturing Connection: "Nurturing our relationship with our children is the heart and soul of consciously parenting. Nurturing relationships, once they are established, is really an art. It is about remembering that our children's need for connection is a primary factor in most of their behavior. It is about recognizing that, in every parenting situation, we have choices about how we respond to our children and their behaviors. It is about seeing every parenting situation as an opportunity to create connection or disconnection. It is about looking at our everyday parenting situations and beginning to see how we can choose connection. It is also about being able to admit when something didn't go as planned, to forgive ourselves for not always being the parents we hope to be, and to forgive our children for not always being the children we hope they'd be."
