Gist offers a fresh look at parenting that’s effective,
efficient, and enjoyable. The focus is on instilling “life readiness” in
age-appropriate ways at any stage of child-rearing. Parents who read
this book will understand why their previous parenting efforts may have
been frustrating and futile, and they’ll learn how to prepare
“life-ready” kids with less drama and more joy. This is the latest
edition with updated content.
“Gist is a potent dose of
advice from a pediatrician and a child psychologist, both of whom have
witnessed the unfortunate results that come when parents try to protect,
prevent, and control at every turn instead of preparing their kids for
life. Combining the expertise of their respective professions with very
practical tips, this is a how-to manual for any parent who wants to
prepare their kids to thrive as adults.” —Julie Lythcott-Haims, former
dean of students, Stanford University
Gist is a powerful
book that reviews and examines what the journey to adulthood entails,
along with a clear look at those parenting efforts that over the years
have been proven not to work. The book looks at many aspects of life
that wouldn’t typically be associated with parenting. Its focus on life
readiness offers parents a new lens through which to see their parenting
interactions and translates to an approach that eliminates many of the
power struggles and ineffective patterns that can rob families of much
of their joy.
