As featured in The Guardian, 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.
