"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"-- Provided by publisher.
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. 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? Moyer outlines the traits we want our children to possess-- honesty, generosity, and antiracism-- and then provides scientifically-based strategies that will help parents instill those characteristics in their kids. -- adapted from jacket and Amazon info
