As featured in The Guardian, How to Raise Kids Who Aren't Assholes

is a clear, actionable, sometimes humorous (but always science-based)

guide for parents on how to shape their kids into honest, kind,

generous, confident, independent, and resilient people . . . who just might

save the world one day.

As an award-winning science

journalist, Melinda Wenner Moyer was regularly asked to investigate and

address all kinds of parenting questions: how to potty train, when and

whether to get vaccines, and how to help kids sleep through the night.

But as Melinda's children grew, she found that one huge area was ignored

in the realm of parenting advice: how do we make sure our kids don't

grow up to be assholes?

On social media, in the news, and from

the highest levels of government, kids are increasingly getting the

message that being selfish, obnoxious and cruel is okay. Hate crimes

among children and teens are rising, while compassion among teens has

been dropping. We know, of course, that young people have the capacity

for great empathy, resilience, and action, and we all want to bring up

kids who will help build a better tomorrow. But how do we actually do

this? How do we raise children who are kind, considerate, and ethical

inside and outside the home, who will grow into adults committed to

making the world a better place?

How to Raise Kids Who Aren't Assholes

is a deeply researched, evidence-based primer that provides a fresh,

often surprising perspective on parenting issues, from toddlerhood

through the teenage years. First, Melinda outlines the traits we want

our children to possess - including honesty, generosity, and

antiracism - and then she provides scientifically-based strategies that

will help parents instill those characteristics in their kids. Learn how

to raise the kind of kids you actually want to hang out with-and who

just might save the world.
