Raising Children Who Think for Themselves

Parenting guide for cultivating independent, moral thinkers.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by the barrage of influences on your kids, this book might be your beacon. Elisa Medhus combines professional insight with relatable stories that might just resonate with your own parenting challenges. This isn't just about fostering independence; it's about nurturing thoughtful, empathetic individuals in a world that often seems to lack these qualities. Consider this book if you're aiming to balance guiding your children with giving them the reins to think autonomously.

Description

Raising Children Who Think for Themselves offers a new approach to parenting that has the power to reverse the trend of external direction in our children and help parents bring up empathetic, self-confident, moral, independent thinkers. Children who are externally directed make decisions based on the peer groups, violent movies, sexually explicit television shows, and rap lyrics that permeate their lives. When children are self-directed, on the other hand, they use their power of reason like a sword to cut through the jungle of external influences. Fortunately, the author shows us, it is never too late to foster in our children the ability to weigh options, consider sources, and think for themselves. Filled with real-life examples, humorous anecdotes, and countless interviews with parents, children, and teachers.
