HOW TO RAISE AN EMOTIONALLY MATURE CHILD will teach parents how to give children what they need to grow into emotionally mature, capable adults who are wellsituated for happiness, lasting relationships, and success. Emotional maturity matters because it gives people resilient emotional range, flexible thinking, and inner resources for dealing with stress. On the flip side, emotional immaturity leads to an insecure sense of self, trouble creating satisfying, long-term relationships, and leaves those individuals vulnerable to other emotionally immature people. With step-by-step instructions from an expert in the category, parents will feel equipped to give their children what they need to lay the foundation for a happy, successful future, and strengthen their children from the inside out.
