After careers in financial services, teaching, advising, and career coaching, author Tim Pitts observed that helicopter parenting is increasingly hampering many bright, ambitious young people. Victims of overprotective parenting, young people too often lack the self-awareness, problem solving skills, and leadership ability that are critical to success in today's high stakes, fast-paced, and increasingly complex world. Pitts offers valuable advice in Taming Your Tiger Mom, a highly readable and enjoyable exploration of how students and parents can work together to put students on the road to success. Covering topics such as generational differences, the importance of understanding our kids' dreams and aspirations, networking, resumes, and interviews, Pitts provides practical steps and strategies to turn anxiety and impulses into focused, helpful actions. Brimming with personal examples and anecdotes, this book is perfect for students, guidance counselors, school administrators, and parents of high school and college students. Taming Your Tiger Mom is an important read for students and parents.
