Raising Future Adults: How You Can Help Ensure Your Children Grow Up to be Thriving Adults (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781967109944)

While the world continues to change at an exponential rate, children's brains develop much like those of previous generations. They need the same social and emotional nourishment which includes interacting with their peers and environments, learning how to advocate for themselves, building independence and coping techniques and strengthening their communication skills. Not all children are the same, but almost all have the same future goal. To be able to survive and hopefully thrive while simultaneously building healthy relationships and becoming well-adjusted, independent adults. This book provides specific strategies regarding parenting and how shifting the parent's mindset to one of "what will help my child in the long run" will increase your children's abilities while also minimizing familial stress. Topics include children and technology, the rise of mental health disorders in children and teens, "helicopter" parenting, instilling skills to help children avoid danger, promoting a balanced lifestyle and building up their social skills. This book is not just for parents, but any stakeholders in children's futures.
