Inhaltsangabe:
While there are dozens of books on how to raise good kids, What Kids Need to Succeed: Four Foundations of Adult Achievement takes a different and long-overlooked approach. Daughter/father writing team Andrea Patten and Harry S. Patten help readers to stay focused on what it takes to raise good adults.
Rather than focusing only on childhood development, What Kids Need to Succeed: Four Foundations of Adult Achievement encourages parents to embrace the responsibility of preparing members of the next generation to take their places as high-functioning contributors to the world around them.
Writing in a friendly, down-to-earth style, Patten and Patten reveal the patterns of childhood experience they have observed in the lives of high-achieving adults, from CEOs and political leaders to artists and writers. They identify four critical life lessons -- called the ‘Four Foundations’ -- for parents and children alike. The authors assert that parents who want their children to be independent, self-reliant, determined, successful adults must pass on four critical lessons while their kids are young: Refuse to Fail, Work Hard, Develop Discipline and Give Back.
This book offers a unique approach to ‘the most important job’ most adults will ever have. However you define success, this is a book that will resonate with those who remember that they "are raising a future adult."
Aus dem Klappentext: You re not raising a child. You re raising a future adult. But how do you raise a good grownup?
You love your kids. You want to see them grow into prosperous, self-reliant, fulfilled adults who reach their goals and give to others. You probably also have mental picture of what you don t want them to become: spoiled, lazy, dependent. But what separates high-achieving adults from those who fail?
It s not genetics or talent. It s the Four Foundations. In What Kids Need to Succeed, you ll see that high achievers share a common childhood experience: four critical life lessons passed on to them by their parents during their early years. The Four Foundations make the difference between mediocrity and excellence.
In What Kids Need to Succeed, you ll learn about the Four Foundations and how to share them with your children. You ll also discover:
The four deadly sins of parenting Why good parenting makes you feel bad and why you should get over it How the best parenting intentions can lead to terrible results A definition of success that you can live with Why giving your children what you didn t have can be a terrible idea What kind of an attitude will help your child face adversity
You ll also read stories of famous and not-so-famous people who used their childhood experiences as a springboard to accomplishment in adult life. If you want to raise children who make you proud as adults, you need to read what Kids Need to Succeed.
