Holding Tight/Letting Go is the necessary and natural push-pull dynamic that must play out between every parent and child from birth through death. It’s the ambivalence that we experience, torn between keeping our children safe and encouraging their independence. It’s the dilemma that we all face knowing that we let our children go into a world filled with internet predators and school shootings, toxins and addictions and crime. This book is your resource for healthy parenting in the twenty-first century. This is the story of how identity emerges in the context of relationships, from birth through death, from Facebook to Twitter, and beyond.
