Lessons from some families in America--by the true experts.
This is really a business book. Rather than just another "Dr. Davidson's Guide to Raising Kids or Corn" we bring the real-life experiences of families who produced remarkable children. We orginally wanted to call the book "Super Kids" but in reality, any parent can dramatically improve the liklihood of bringing successful kids into society by just following the guidance of people who have done it well in the past.

There really are no "rules" for rearing children. Every parent needs to find the right combination of parenting skills--and they are probably different for several different kids in the family. Like Ken Blanchard's Situational Management series, my brother and I wanted people to understand the concept of equifinality in raising children (or running a business for that matter). There is no one "best" way to do it. But rather, use a mix and match approach. Read, talk to others, get help from professionals and most importantly just keep the lines of communication open with the child. This will be the most important and complex relationship of your life--it begins nine months before your child is born and continues until he or she dies. Take the parenting process seriously but have fun with kids. Good luck on your journey.
