Let Them Be Kids: Escaping the Trap of Performance-Based Parenting

Are you tired of feeling like you’re falling behind as a parent—while your child falls under the weight of expectations?

Let Them Be Kids: Escaping the Trap of Performance-Based Parenting is a powerful wake-up call for today’s overwhelmed families. This book is a compassionate yet bold call to all parents caught in the invisible rat race of competitive parenting. It exposes how the modern obsession with achievement—perfect grades, elite teams, Ivy League colleges—has hijacked childhood and turned well-meaning parents into project managers. 

Drawing from real stories, psychology, education insights, and personal reflection, it offers parents a new way to define success—one rooted in values, well-being, and lifelong growth.

Through relatable stories and practical advice, author Louise Maurice helps you break free from comparison culture and reclaim the joy of raising children who are not just impressive—but whole. 

If you're ready to stop micromanaging and start connecting, this is your invitation to breathe again—and let your child simply be a child.
