In GIST The Essence of Raising Life-Ready Kids, psychologist Michael Anderson and pediatrician Dr. Tim Johanson take parenting into a new paradigm. Raising children today has never been more challenging as parents feel the stress watching their children grow-up not ready for life in the adult world. From the foundation of developing loving relationships with your child, the book clearly defines how to implement strategies that prevent the "many hours and emotional energy spent by parents where nothing positive is produced."

GIST will give new and valuable insight into the process of how kids mature through their experiences of life, what the authors call a "checklist to adulthood." You will be given new ways of thinking about learning and anti-learning, fun and joy, self-esteem, minimizing shame, understanding self-protective behavior, over-talking to your kids, why kids do stuff that drives you crazy, and the importance of truth-telling.

GIST will make you think, force you to go deeper, and even ruffle some feathers. Like it or not, many parents today are struggling and the younger generation is now living out the consequences of ineffective, over-nurturing, over-indulgent, and over-protective approaches. There are no instructions when a child enters this world. GIST focuses on how looking at parenting differently is the first step in growing-up your children.
