An eye-opening guide to the world's best parenting strategies

Research reveals that American kids lag behind in academic achievement, happiness, and wellness. Christine Gross-Loh exposes culturally determined norms we have about "good parenting," and asks, Are there parenting strategies other countries are getting right that we are not? This book takes us across the globe and examines how parents successfully foster resilience, creativity, independence, and academic excellence in their children. Illuminating the surprising ways in which culture shapes our parenting practices, Gross-Loh offers objective, research-based insight such as:

โ— Co-sleeping may promote independence in kids.

โ— "Hoverparenting" can damage a child's resilience.

โ— Finnish children, who rank among the highest academic achievers, enjoy multiple recesses a day.

โ— Our obsession with self-esteem may limit a childโ€™s potential.

Christine Gross-Loh is an author and journalist. Her writing has been featured in national outlets including the Wall Street Journal, the Atlantic.com, and the Huffington Post, and she holds a PhD from Harvard University in East Asian history.

Cindy Kay is a Chinese-Thai-American narrator and educator who grew up in the California Bay Area and lives in the Rockies. Her work has been described as listening to a "cozy best friend." She narrates fiction and nonfiction, and has studied Spanish, Portuguese, Thai, and Japanese.
