Summary:
There are hundreds of books that give parents advice on everything from weaning to toilet training, discipline to nutrition. In spite of this overwhelming amount of information, there is very little research-based advice for parents on how to raise their children to be well rounded and achieve their full potential, helping them learn to take on life's challenges, communicate well with others, and remain committed to learning. These are the "essential life skills" that Ellen Galinsky has spent her career pursuing, both through her own studies and through decades of talking with dozens of the most outstanding researchers in child development and neuroscience. Mind in the Making is a truly groundbreaking book, one that teaches parents how to give children the most important tools they will need.
