How Much Is Enough?: Everything You Need to Know to Steer Clear of Overindulgence and Raise Likeable, Responsible, and Respectful Children by Jean Illsley, Ph.D. Clarke, Connie, Ph.D. Dawson, David, Ph.D. Bredehoft

ISBN 1569244375

This site highly recommends this book. In it the authors offer their findings from research on adults who were overindulged as children and who today don’t know what is not enough, enough, or too much. The authors clarify the definition of overindulgence, and break it into 3 kinds: over-nurturing, giving too much, and too little structure. Advice, stories and strategies help the parent avoid overindulgence or repair the damage caused by overindulgence.
