Summary:
"
How
to
Raise
Kids
Who
Aren
't
Assholes
is a clear, actionable, sometimes humorous (but always
science-based
) guide for parents on
how
to shape their
kids
into honest, kind, generous, confident, independent, and resilient people...
who
just might save the world one day. As an award-winning science journalist, Melinda Wenner Moyer was regularly asked to investigate and address all kinds of parenting questions:
how
to potty train, when and whether to get vaccines, and
how
to help
kids
sleep through the night. But as Melinda's children grew, she found that one huge area was ignored in the realm of parenting advice:
how
do we make sure our
kids
don'
t
grow up to be
assholes
? On social media, in the news, and from the highest levels of government,
kids
are increasingly getting the message that being selfish, obnoxious and cruel is okay. Hate crimes among children and
teens
are rising, while compassion among
teens
has been dropping. We know, of course, that young people have the capacity for great empathy, resilience, and action, and we all want to bring up
kids
who
will help build a
better
tomorrow. But
how
do we actually do this?
How
do we
raise
children
who
are kind, considerate, and ethical inside and outside the home,
who
will grow into adults committed to making the world a
better
place?
How
to
Raise
Kids
Who
Aren
't
Assholes
is a deeply researched, evidence-based primer that provides a fresh, often surprising perspective on parenting issues, from toddlerhood through the teenage years. First, Melinda outlines the traits we want our children to possess -- including honesty, generosity, and antiracism -- and then she provides scientifically-based
strategies
that will help parents instill those characteristics in their
kids
. Learn
how
to
raise
the kind of
kids
you actually want to hang out with -- and
who
just might save the world."--Publisher.
