Raising Can-Do Kids: Giving Children the Tools to Thrive in a Fast-Changing WorldAdvice for raising resourceful, resilient, and responsible children--based on the latest child development research. “Success” is a popular buzzword in discussions about children. But instead of prescribing what success looks like for kids, we should be making sure that they develop the skills they will need to become “doers”—people who proactively seek out what they want in life. Raising Can-Do Kids offers parents hands-on, proven ways to raise kids who embrace the uncertain and challenging adventure that is growing up. |
