Great for the parents of teens and tweens as well as younger kids
When my kids were younger, I was one of those parents who bought just about every parenting book there was, starting with What to Expect While You’re Expecting and several a year after that. As they got older I felt I knew a lot more so didn’t read many. Now they’re 12 and 15 and this is one of the first parenting books I’ve read in a couple of years. Worth the wait.This really is a good book for the parents of tweens and teens. The author gives specific advice based on age group, so he’s not telling you to do things the same for an 8 year old that he would for a 16 year old. Although the focus is on resilience, it’s also really helped my relationship with my 15 year-old as well. I never realized how much I “lectured” until I read this book, but now I know what to do instead and it really has changed how I communicate with my daughters in a positive way. My 15 year-old has actually started having conversations with me instead of giving me one word answers!Great book, but don’t wait til your kids are tweens or teens to read it!

Vital Resource
This book has been a game changer for our family. It has given us the tools, language, and hope to be able to parent our children during these extraordinarily difficult times. We are confident we can parent our kids in a way that will build them up to be successful adults that will soar. Dr. Ginsburg writes with authority, but in clear language that provides parents the techniques needed to parent not only during the tough times, but all of the time.

Every parent should read this.
I am reading this book for a college class on resilience in education. I would recommend this book to any parent. The advice is very practical. Parenting from a perspective of building resilience is a game changer.

Thank you Dr. Ginsburg
We all want the best for our children. This book has given me a plan for how to listen, interpret and guide my children. It gives us tools to raise our kids in a loving way that prepares them for life’s challenges and helps them reach their potential while feeling safe and loved.

Great concepts and examples
I haven’t finished it yet, but love it so far. So many of the concepts are, in many ways, common sense, but so easy to forget or overlook. It’s a great book for finding a good balance between protecting our kids from safety dangers, while letting them become confident, competent adults. My girls are only 1, but I can already put some of it into action and I suspect I will be re-reading this as they grow!

Educator K-12 certified, currently teach high school, mom, psychology major, etc. Book is phenomenal.
This book gives amazing and simple examples of compare and contrast of how to handle situations and a child’s perspective. It has literally already helped me in so many ways with my emotional 11-year-old.

I loved this book. I read it as a student, but have recommended it to my parent friends as well as professional colleagues! I’m looking forward to keeping this one on my bookshelf and sharing it!

Excellent book – reads like a parent to a parent but has some great points to make in a non-guilt inducing way. Wish I had read it years ago.Would commend to anyone who thinks ‘It will all be fine if we just muddle along’ – that’s when life reminds you that every parent (you included) is an amateur.I am not great on ‘experts’ in this area – at the end of the day every family is different and there is no perfect recipe. This book has some great ingredients in it for your own ‘cake’ though…

The first few chapters were just selling the book, so I had difficulty getting through them. I would skip them if I read the book again. Then there is really great info. It is written a bit like a textbook with info crammed in, pretty heavy reading, but if you can handle that it is an excellent read.

perfect guide for anyone working with children and teens!
