A few weeks ago I was at the NAES Biennial conference where president Daniel Heishman was discussing his new book Good Influence: Teaching the Wisdom of Adulthood. If you want to read his plenary address follow the link below. It’s probably worth the few minutes of reading when you have the time. At the same time I would recommend reading his book. He fundamentally talks about the importance of Adults mentoring young people into being true adults. In a society where youth is praised, where parents are "best friends" with their children, and where adults have to ask children how to use technology, Heischman offers a compelling philosophy of adulthood along with practical means to educate young people. It's worth your time.
The first 25 pages of the book can be found here on Google books.
