"This science-based, funny, easy-to-use guidebook with specific strategies to help parents raise great kids should be on everyone's list." -Zibby Owens, Good Morning America
"It's one thing to say you don't want your kid to be an asshole. This book gives you data-driven, research-based tools to actually achieve it." -Emily Oster, Ph.D., author of Cribsheet and Expecting Better
"In her new book How to Raise Kids Who Aren't A**holes: Science-Based Strategies for Better Parenting--from Tots to Teens, science journalist Melinda Wenner Moyer...looks at research on gunplay, screen time, shyness, resilience and more, helping parents effectively send the message that kindness matters." -CNN.com
"Most parents say we want our children to be kind, compassionate people. Yet everything in the culture urges us to teach something else . . . Melinda Wenner Moyer weaves cutting edge science with accessible stories and actionable tips to help us rebalance those crucial scales, to be the parents we know we can be." -Peggy Orenstein, author of Girls & Sex and Boys & Sex
"Blending an upbeat, humorous tone with straightforward advice, Wenner Moyer crafts a winning guide for parents who wish to build a "better, fairer, stronger world." This delightful mix of strategy and humor shouldn't be missed." -Publishers Weekly, starred
"[Moyer] gives practical, research-based suggestions for teaching selflessness, honesty, and healthy self-esteem...[she] shows readers how to grow alongside their child and effect positive change." -Library Journal
"If the title alone doesn't make you fall in love with the book, I'm not sure what to tell you. Wenner Moyer is a science journalist who realized that despite books that tell us how to do nearly everything in parenting, there wasn't a book that helped you to raise kids who weren't, well...assholes. This is an interesting, fact-based look at how to do just that. (Also, I suspect that if you bring this to the playground, it will attract like-minded mom friends!)" --Book Riot
"How can parents raise kids who believe in themselves and in building a better, more compassionate future? This book provides the roadmap. Filled with actionable, sometimes surprising, always data-driven ideas, Melinda Wenner Moyer has given us an invaluable resource." -Madeline Levine, Ph.D., author of The Price of Privilege and Ready or Not
"I can't think of a more important life lesson than 'don't be an asshole.' Unfortunately, many kids don't learn it--because many parents fail to teach it. Thanks to this book, they no longer have an excuse. It's a smart, engaging, honest, and surprisingly useful read about how to nurture decency and generosity." -Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of THINK AGAIN
"If you are a parent who wants to know that your parenting energies are tried and true, tested and trusted, this book is the place where you can plant your flag." -Mark McConville, author of Failure to Launch
"Crucial, timely, and wise. This is the parenting handbook for raising the next generation." -Carla Naumburg, PhD, author of How to Stop Losing Your Sh*t With Your Kids
