Teach Your Children Well: Parenting for Authentic Success Audiobook

" Provides a good perspective of pressure on suburban, upper middle-class kids and the negative affects that come with such demands. "

" This book was full of unsubstantiated whiny drivel. I made it though about 20 pages. Would not recommend. "

" i do not have kids, but hear me out as to why this is a good book for us all: if you think of parenting as "running another person's life," then can't we all benefit from parenting books because they're about how to run lives? And by extension, they're about how to run "our own lives"? Exactly. What I took away from this book is that we should all reward ourselves (and/or our kids) for progress, grit, and soft skills and chill out about achievement and extrinsic rewards. "

" wonderful read! I would recommend it to parents of all ages of children and youth! "

" Great book! Addresses the need to let children be children without the added pressures of having to conquer the world from day one in school. Helped me to understand the challenging transitions between elementary to middle to high school. Also, how to encourage and cultivate your child's natural talents and interests instead of projecting your own idea of success on them. "

" A must read for all parents. It bolstered me and terrified me in equal parts, but its clearcut analysis of kids and parenting styles is a lfe saver. "

" Thought-provoking and great advice, particularly for the Middle School and High School years. "

" Excellent book for parents and anyone working with kids! "

" Advice for parents situated in developmentally appropriate psychological research. Interesting and thought provoking. Ideas align well with the heart of the middle school movement. "

" I didn't think I was one of the "helicopter parents" until I read this book. This was a great book, lots of common sense, but it's always good to hear it from another person, especially someone with some actual expertise on the subject. Time to chill out, parents! Me included. "

" An excellent resource. This is a book I would like to own when I become a parent so that I can refer to it again and again. "

" A great book to read if you are a parent of an elementary, middle, or high school child. The ideas in this book are fairly simple, and are ones you already know are correct, but may not be the norm for families today. This is one of the best parenting books I've read. "

" I knew this book was going to be good in the first few pages. A great extension to Price of Priviledge. For folks who have kids and live in towns like mine (Davis, CA)...this book is an absolute must read. "

" Well written, but not exactly what I was looking for. But I think I gleaned enough useful information and a few ideas that are worth a try. "

" Sane and wise,,,, still made me fear the teenage years though! "

" Most of this book is just okay, but I enjoyed the values examination section and that makes this worthwhile. Also would be worthwhile for parents who do not have a firm understanding of normal child development, although not as thorough as other books out there. "

" Very much geared toward the rare, white, wealthy parent and not self-consciously so. Not terribly science-based, preachy, and void of good advice. "

" The Price of Privilege was much better. This felt like an afterthought or something to publish just because the first book was so successful. I do enjoy this author though. "
