simply born but are made. With the world in unprecedented distress,
it is our job to make sure that our kids are prepared not only with
high grades or prestigious college acceptances, but with the mental
toughness, moral strength, and self-awareness that times of great
challenge demand. If you add one book to your parenting
bookshelf this year, make it Thrivers." --Madeline

that is in crisis, with a generation that is emotionally crumbling,

and teens the moral courage they need to flourish in an
unpredictable life. We must turn our strivers into thrivers! A

compassionate, and successful children." --Sue Scheff, author of
