"Every parent wants a kid who can--who can thrive, who can cope, who can stay motivated, adapt, show compassion, be focused. A kid who won't get stuck in a perfectionist loop or become anxious and avoidant every time something negative happens. And get a good night's sleep (even more important than you might think). Written by three mental health professionals who work with families, RAISING A KID WHO CAN delivers neuroscience-based advice and easy-to-implement strategies in a way that's organized for easy skimming and designed to be useful and usable at any stage in a child's life"--Front jacket flap.
