The Self-Driven Child: The Science and Sense of Giving Your Kids More Control Over Their Lives
A few years ago, William Stixrud, Ph.D. and teen motivational coach 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 control over their lives. Some stumbled in high school or hit college and unraveled. Together, Dr. Stixrud and Mr. Johnson discovered that the best antidote to stress is to give kids more of a sense of control over their lives. They co-authored a book, The Self-Driven Child, combining cutting-edge brain science, the latest discoveries in behavioral therapy, and case studies drawn from the thousands of kids and teens to teach you how to set your child on the real road to success.
