I recently published my latest book, *Late Bloomers: The Power of Patience in a World Obsessed with Early Achievement*. Below is a question-and-answer [session](https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-author-speaks/201904/late-bloomers) I did with *Psychology Today* soon after the book’s release. I’ve edited it exclusively for "Navigating Your Child's Education: Blog for Parents." I am also coming to central Ohio on Thursday, February 13, 2020 to speak to parents on this topic.
