The Self-Driven Child: The Science and Sense of Giving Your Kids More Control Over Their Lives by William Stixrud, Ned Johnson

3.0

Good book. At the beginning I was copying everything down and taking notes. Maybe I got tired because by the end I stopped. I bought the book so I can go back and look over the sections at the end of the chapters. It summed up everything really nice and said: what to do tonight. That was really helpful and such a good idea. This had stuff about college and my girls are not there yet but will be. I also copied and pasted some things to quote to some of my students’ parents! Good stuff.

This was a good one:
Mark Twain said, “When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I couldn’t stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.”
