Look on the shelves of any Barnes and Noble and you'll see dozens of books purporting to tell you, the questing parent (or the clueless new father like me) exactly how to raise good kids. But until now, I had never come across one that taught readers how to raise good adults. That's exactly what What Kids Need to Succeed does, and that's why it's one of the most extraordinary parenting books of the past few years. Click here to read complete review!

This is a
wonderful, warm, inspiring book for every parent who wants
his/her child to fulfill his/her full potential in life.
-Brian
Tracy, author, How to Raise Happy, Self-Confident Children
I love this book. It's full of common-sense, easy to understand wisdom. I was excited to give it to my children who are now parents.

You’ve seen
families at the mall, at the movies, at the playing fields, who
seem to have confused the roles of parent and child. It is for
them that this book brings welcome and long-overdue clarity.
Parenting is hard work but cannot be shirked if children are to
reach responsible maturity. What Kids Need to Succeed delivers a straightforward and concise discussion of four simple
principles for good parenting. Easy to understand but difficult
to practice; the authors arm their readers with a wealth of
life stories of successful adults – celebrity and common,
applauded and anonymous – that anchor the principles in valuable
examples of cause and effect: responsible parenting,
responsible kids, responsible adults.

What Kids Need to Succeed is a must-read for today's parents. We so often focus on giving kids "stuff" instead of the life lessons that which will see them through for a lifetime. This book, in a wonderful, easy-to-read style, is full of those life lessons. It's my new favorite gift for friends with children.
-John J. Wessling
This book is a
must for all parents, grandparents and family members! Finally,
some real life stories, advice and steps on how to raise a child
with what’s needed to succeed in their personal, financial and
spiritual life.

I wish I'd had this parenting book when my children were young. Instead, I've passed it on to my children, nieces, nephews, colleagues, and anyone else who has small children. It offers practical, sound advice in an easy to read format.
I'd recommend it to any parent. You'll love this book!
-Penny L. Roberts, business owner and mother of two
We have gotten scared to death to parent from the heart, because
we don't trust ourselves anymore. To a mother who has often felt
bombarded by the ‘latest, greatest’ way to effectively raise
kids, this book is like a breath of fresh air. It dispels the
myth that successful people are somehow "born" into it, or have
otherwise bumbled or stumbled their way to success. Part of its
beauty is in its simplicity -- it forces the reader to discover
and name what she values, to think about the kind of adult she
wishes her child to grow into, and then offers the Four
Foundations to help us get there. Thanks for such a common sense
approach.
-Tracy Chappelle, mother of two
This excellent
book is a gold mine of opportunity for anyone charged with
raising a child or children. Read it, instill its principles
with encouragement and love, then stand back and watch them turn
into hard-working, productive and extraordinary adults.
-Tom Harken,
Entrepreneur/Literacy Activist
“What a nice
book! Recommended for anyone who wants to raise kids to become
confident, competent adults.”
- Loretta Butehorn, PhD, DIHom,
Educator and psychologist specializing in issues of health and
families
A real
pleasure to read, this practical book is meant to be enacted,
not just read. Thanks to this book, I look forward to meeting
many more kids who are growing up to be successful adults.
