About Our Research
The
overindulgence project began in 1996 with the mission of
studying the relationship between childhood overindulgence and
subsequent adult problems and parenting practices. To date, we
(David Bredehoft, Jean Illsley Clarke, Connie Dawson and our
research assistants) have completed ten studies and currently
have additional studies in process investigating overindulgence
involving a combined 3,531 participants to date.
How Much
is Enough? is a book about overindulgence written for
parents, parent-educators, and other professionals. This book is
unique because it is written for parents while supported by our
research findings.
