Join Jfamily and Detroit Jewish Book Fair, along with moderator Franki Bagdade, for a thoughtful discussion using a practical, compassionate guide to helping children develop independence and a strong identity.

In The Scaffold Effect, world-renowned child psychiatrist and founding member of the non-profit Child Mind Institute, Harold Koplewicz, introduces the powerful and clinically tested idea that the deliberate buildup and then gradual loosening of parental support (like scaffolding on a building) is the single most effective way to encourage kids to climb higher, try new things, grow from mistakes, and develop character and strength.
