TOPGRADE YOUR KIDS? 
That's right!  Topgrading founder Brad Smart has teamed up with his daughter, family therapist Dr. Kate Smart Mursau, to publish such a book... though the title was changed to Smart Parenting: How to Raise Happy, Can-Do Kids.  I love the book and think you will too.  Kate surveyed 3,000 high achieving business managers, who reported that the most important life skill is (just as Brad suggests in his books) resourcefulness, yet they complain that their kids lack it.  The book explains why, but more importantly offers dozens of fun activities parents have successfully used to re-stimulate kids, to make them can-do kids who become more energized, focused, responsible...can-do kids.

Description

The greatest gift you can give your children is the motivation and judgment to figure things out sensibly, every day. And what a gift to yourself, too!

In Smart Parenting you will discover a groundbreaking approach you can use with your children to help them be successful now and throughout their lives.

You will learn fun activities and powerful techniques that will unleash your children's creativity and put them on a path to becoming "can-do kids." After even one activity you will see a noticeable improvement in your children's confidence and how they make decisions. Think of the joy you will see on their faces when they have solved a tough problem with the tools you gave them to work things out on their own - and how much happier life around the breakfast table will be!

Children want to be resourceful and sell-reliant - all they need are examples and your encouragement.

Dr. Brad Smart is a world-renowned psychologist specializing in developing the talents of people in organizations. He is author of four books including best selling Topgrading: How Leading Companies Win by Hiring, Coaching, and Keeping the Best People.

Dr. Kate Smart Mursau is a family therapist and mother. Her doctoral dissertation showed resourcefulness to be a highly valuable life skill... and that few parents develop resourcefulness in their children.

This father-daughter team provides fun, practical activities and inspiring insights that will build your children's self-esteem and decision-making ability.
