Teach Your Children Well Summary

Teach Your Children Well: Why Values And Coping Skills Matter More Than Grades, Trophies, Or fat Envelopes by Madeline Levine

Psychologist Madeline Levine, author of the New York Times bestseller The Price of Privilege, brings together cutting-edge research and thirty years of clinical experience to explode once and for all the myth that good grades, high test scores, and college acceptances should define the parenting endgame. Teach Your Children Well is a toolbox for parents, providing information, relevant research and a series of exercises to help parents clarify a definition of success that is in line with their own values as well as their children's interests and abilities. Teach Your Children Well is a must-read for parents, educators, and therapists looking for tangible tools to help kids thrive in today's high-stakes, competitive culture.

Teach Your Children Well Reviews

Levine really comes into her own ... when she moves beyond child development to concentrate instead on parent development, exploring why we do the misguided things we do, and asking how we must (as we must) change ourselves and behave differently. -- Judith Warner, New York Times Book Review (Editor's Choice) Here's one potentially bright and shiny opportunity for optimism (at least if you take her advice) thanks to one busy and one hope's wise clinical psychologist...

Parents who want their kids to succeed without compromising their health or losing the joy of learning will be buoyed by Levine's support, encouragement, and guidance. -- Publishers Weekly An excellent new book. -- Forbes Levine, author of The Price of Privilege, offers practical tips for helping kids relax, cope with the very real demands of adolescence and mature into healthy adults. -- San Jose Mercury News Practical advice for raising well-rounded and successful children... A rethinking of the term 'success' provides new insight on how to raise today's youth. -- Kirkus Reviews A modern guide for the perplexed!
