“Instead of trusting kids with choices. . . many parents insist on micromanaging everything from homework to friendships. For these parents, Stixrud and Johnson have a simple message: Stop.” –NPR

“Important and timely. . . An essential book for parents and educators in all places.” –Sir Ken Robinson, New York Times bestselling creator

A few years ago, Bill Stixrud and Ned Johnson started noticing the same problem from different angles: Even high-performing kids were coming to them acutely stressed and lacking motivation. Many complained they had no keep an eye on over their lives. Some stumbled in high school or hit college and unraveled. Bill is a clinical neuropsychologist who helps kids gripped by anxiety or struggling to learn. Ned is a motivational coach who runs an elite tutoring service. Together they discovered that the best antidote to stress is to give kids more of a sense of keep an eye on over their lives. But this doesn’t mean giving up your authority as a parent. In this groundbreaking book they reveal how you’ll be able to actively help your child to sculpt a brain that is resilient, and ready to take on new challenges.

The Self-Driven Child offers a combination of state of the art brain science, the up to date discoveries in behavioral therapy, and case studies drawn from the thousands of kids and teens Bill and Ned have helped over time to teach you how to set your child on the real road to success. As parents, we will only drive our kids so far. One day, they are going to have to take the wheel and map out their own path. But there is a lot you’ll be able to do before then to help them tackle the road ahead with resilience and imagination.
