Raising Great Kids should be read by those whose goal is to help their kids become successful, responsible and satisfied adults in a complex and often confusing world. Dr. Mendler provides concise, comprehensive and practical guidance to nurture greatness in kids of all ages at home and in school. I give it my highest recommendation.

Accessible and engaging with anecdotes that will feel recognizable to parents and teachers alike. Mendler’s guidance speaks to the full spectrum of challenges that adults face in raising and teaching children.

Mendler’s suggestions are bound to help with many issues families and schools face. As a psychologist working with children and adolescents, I recommend this great book to parents and teachers.
