Description
“Instead of trusting kids with choices. . . many parents insist on micromanaging everything from
homework to friendships. For these parents, Stixrud and Johnson have a simple message: Stop. Instead of
thinking of yourself as your child's boss or manager, try consultant.― —NPR“William Stixrud and Ned
Johnson focus on the ways that children today are being denied a sense of controlling their own
lives—doing what they find meaningful, and succeeding, or failing, on their own. Screen time, the authors
say, is part of the problem, but so are well-meaning parents and schools, who are unwittingly taking from
children the opportunities they need to grow stronger, more confident, and more themselves.― –
Scientific American “If thereâ€s one book Iâ€d recommend to parents who are raising children of
all ages—Iâ€m talking preschool to 12th grade—this is the book.― –Atomic Moms'In trying too
hard to control their children, too often parents have unwittingly become part of the problem they're trying to
solve. Combining deep insights from clinical practice and educational coaching, Stixrud and Johnson have
written a penetrating account of the chronic problems that many families now face and an incisive, practical
guide to what parents can do to relieve them. . . An essential book for parents and educators everywhere.'
 —Sir Ken Robinson PhD, Educator and New York Times Best Selling Author, Creative Schools
'If you still have questions about whether or not excessive pressure and a narrow version of success are truly
harming our children, The Self-Driven Child is an absolute must-read. While most books on the impact of
stress on child development offer anecdotes and clinical examples, Stixrud and Johnson make it clear that it
is now research that explains why kids donâ€t thrive under our current priorities. A healthy child needs a
healthy brain. Not only do they produce the evidence that shows why unremitting achievement pressure is
toxic to our children, they also show us what the alternative would look like. It is not an overstatement to
say that this is one of the most radical and important books on raising healthy, resilient, purpose-driven kids.'
—Madeline Levine, PhD., author of The Price of Privilege and Teach Your Children Well
 'Compelling, revolutionary, and wise, The Self-Driven Child empowers parents with the courage, the
tools, and the mindset to reduce toxic stress, and to foster our childâ€s capacity for resilience, success, and
optimal development. Its message—that we should trust kids to have more control over their own lives—is
one every parent needs to hear.' —Tina Payne Bryson, PhD, co-author of The Whole Brain ChildÂ
and The Yes Brain  “Sometimes the most helpful thing we can do as parents is to parent our children
a little less. This humane, thoughtful book turns the latest brain science into valuable practical advice for
parents on how to pull back, when to engage and when to let go. Read it. Your children will thank you.―Â
—Paul Tough, New York Times bestselling author of How Children Succeed “This serious and
probing look at how to give our children the right kinds of independence shows us how much power we
have to ensure they can function optimally. Â It is a book about how to make our children more

meaningfully independent, and to set ourselves free in the process.― —Andrew Solomon, author of Far
from the Tree 'The Self-Driven Child will guide parents to the sweet spot between helicopter and
hands-off parenting. Stixrud and Johnson ground their clear and practical advice in cutting-edge research and
years of experience working with young kids and teens. An invaluable resource for the thinking parent.' —
Lisa Damour, PhD, author of Untangled'A battleplan to attack the anxiety that's devouring kids and
decimating their native potential, this extraordinary book shines a light into the darkness of test dread,
chronic sleeplessness, 24/7 social-media 'beauty pageants' and the full array of stress-induced forces that
undermine children. But Stixrud and Johnson do more than identify the demons -- they slay them. Read this
incisive, witty, deeply-researched book and help your child bend toward the sunlight of learning and selfdirected
joy. A must read.' —Ron Suskind, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of Life,
Animated “Stixrud and Johnson combine science and compassion to make the case that parental overcontrol
is eroding our kids†confidence, competence and mental health. Accessible, compelling and
richly researched, The Self Driven Child reveals the clear links between the stresses of competitive
schooling and the anxiety and depression that are so widespread in kids today. This urgently-needed book
has the potential to revolutionize the way we parent.― —Judith Warner, author ofA Perfect Madness:
