Book Reviews
Savvy Parents “Mostly, though, I appreciated the guilt-free direction of the book, and the practical, ‘I can do that’ ideas.”
Care.com “The best thing is that as a parent you don’t really have to change much of what you’re already doing!
You can build these seven essential skills by taking advantage of situations as they arise and how you react to them to help position your children for success as adults.”
Dr. Michele Borba, An internationally renowned educator, award-winning author, parenting expert, and child and adolescent expert
“My recommendation: get a copy of this book, give a copy to another parent, and recommend that every library and early childhood educator has one on their shelf. Mind in the Making is one of those rare and glorious books that will make a difference on our children’s lives and future”
