Also included in this updated edition are book club questions, designed to get parent groups thinking and collaborating in order to make the most of these strategies. This book gives parents, guardians, coaches, caregivers, and anyone who works with children powerful knowledge and methods to help themselves and their children learn to embrace life’s challenges with a growth mindset and an eye toward increasing their effort and success!
