We think we have to push our kids to do more, achieve more, BE more. But we''re modelling the wrong traits - like rule-following and caution - and research shows it''s NOT working.

In Thrivers, Dr. Borba offers practical, actionable ways to develop these traits in children from preschool through high school, showing how to teach kids how to cope today so they can thrive tomorrow.
