What’s it about?
Parenting books populate the shelves of book stores these days. So, when successful entrepreneur Jen Prosek approached child psychologist Richard Rende with an idea for a collaborative project, they decided they wanted to offer something entirely new—a groundbreaking book, the wisdom of which would serve our children well into their futures.
What Prosek had hit upon was that many of the skills and traits needed by modern entrepreneurs were also the exact skills and characteristics that parents wanted to instill in their children. Resilience, creativity, magnanimousness, and divergent thinking are all as admirable in young people as they are in the workplace. All of these skills and traits come together to build a well-rounded individual who has the ability to get on in life, free from self-doubt or self-importance. In Raising Can-Do Kids, Prosek and Rende give you the tools to create this balance in your children.
Targeting a series of characteristics, Raising Can-Do Kids gives ideas and practical advice on how you can nurture your children in these areas, leading them to become successful academically, socially, emotionally and, later on, in their careers—equipping them for happy and healthy lives in the twenty-first century.
