Forbes publisher says "let kids be kids," discusses dangers of early overachievement
Rich Karlgaard, Forbes magazine publisher and contributor, discusses his recently released book, Late Bloomers: The Power of Patience in a World Obsessed with Early Achievement. With an increasingly competitive younger generation, Karlgaard encourages parents, teachers, and other stakeholders to acknowledge that we aren't all born to be child prodigies and attend Ivy League universities. He says that when we "let kids be kids" and are more patient with their development, the outcomes — whether it be mental health or economic outcomes — are much more beneficial to the health and wellbeing of our world.
