The Surprising Reasons Why Some Kids Struggle and Others Shine The bestselling author of UnSelfie explains why the old markers of accomplishment (grades, test scores) are no longer reliable predictors of success in the 21st century - and offers 7 teachable traits that will safeguard our kids for the future. These traits - confidence, empathy, self-control, integrity, curiosity, perseverance, and optimism - will allow kids to roll with the punches and succeed in life. And the even better news: these traits can be taught to children at any age...in fact, parents and educators must do so. In Thrivers, Dr. Borba offers practical, actionable ways to develop these traits in children from preschool through high school, showing how to teach kids how to cope today so they can thrive tomorrow.
