Ready or Not? How to Prepare Children for Life in an Unsettled and Changing World

We all know firsthand the hardships of parenting in an unstable and even hostile environment. As caring parents, we devote all our efforts to raising a child not just to be successful, but the best of the best. We believe that the key to success is good grades, high scores, or sports achievements. But Madeline Levine warns: outdated parenting methods combined with a desperate attempt to shield children from discomfort and anxiety make them anxious, depressed, and helpless, and could lead future generations to a grand fiasco. However, it can still be fixed. By utilizing the latest advancements in neurobiology and epigenetics, and conducting numerous interviews with entrepreneurs, scientists, and futurists, Levine identified the skills necessary for success in a turbulent future: adaptability, mental flexibility, curiosity, collaboration, tolerance for failure, resilience, and optimism.
