About this listen
The author of the international best seller 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do turns her focus to parents, teaching them how to raise mentally strong and resilient children.
Do today's children lack the flexibility and mental strength they need to cope with life's challenges in an increasingly complicated and scary world? With safe spaces and trigger warnings designed to "protect" kids, many adults worry that children don't have the resilience to reach their greatest potential. Amy Morin, the author who identified the characteristics that mentally strong people share, now gives adults - parents, teachers, and other mentors - the tools they need to become mental strength trainers. While other books tell parents what to do, Amy teaches parents what not to do, which, she says, is equally important in raising mentally strong youngsters.
As a foster parent, psychotherapist, and expert in family and teen therapy, Amy has witnessed firsthand what works. When children have the skills they need to deal with challenges in their everyday lives, they can flourish socially, emotionally, behaviorally, and academically. With appropriate support, encouragement, and guidance from adults, kids grow stronger and become better. Drawing on her experiences and insight, 13 Things Mentally Strong Parents Don't Do combines case studies, practical tips, specific strategies, and concrete and proven exercises to help children of all ages - from preschoolers to teenagers - build mental muscle and develop into healthy, strong adults.

"Less is more" - or, more specifically, the less you have to do, the more life you have to live. Efficiency expert Ari Meisel details his "Less Doing" philosophy, which will streamline your life, and make everything easier.

Many of us know we're putting too much pressure on our kids - and on ourselves - but how do we get off this crazy train? We want our children to succeed, to be their best, and to do their best, but what if they are not on board? A few years ago, Ned Johnson and Bill Stixrud started noticing the same problem from different angles: even high-performing kids were coming to them acutely stressed and lacking any real motivation. Many complained that they had no real control over their lives.

Bob Proctor is known throughout the personal development world as the master thinker. When it comes to systematizing life, no one else comes close. He is simply the best. Bob Proctor collects thoughts and strings them together in exquisite arrays; one thought leading logically to the next until a whole method has been constructed. In Born Rich, Bob Proctor has done it again, this time taking you step by step to the surprising discovery that success is not always reaching out for something that you don’t have but rather only reaching over and rearranging the pieces that are already there.

Never Too Late
This is invaluable information. Even after all the parenting classes and self exploration and effort to educate myself, there are pearls that are pertinent and can be applied for my now 15 and 12 year olds. Thank you!!

Common sense stuff that more parents need to hear.
The author has very good insight into how to help parents teach their kids to help themselves. Not life changing, but it definitely changes my perspective on how I parent. Good stuff.

Amazing book
This book has opened my eyes to so many mistakes I have made with my children, and so many things that I have been doing that impact them in a negative way, and I thought I was helping them! My children are 7 and 9, so it's not too late, but I wish I would have read this book when they were born, and continued to read it as they grow! The information in this book is exactly what everyone says doesn't exist, a rule book for parenting. Although this book is just insights into what will hopefully help your child develop healthy mental strength, I will be using this as my guideline for how I raise my children. I'm planning on reading this book several times consecutively to really implant the information in my brain, then rereading it every 6 months so as my children grow, I can revisit the information that is applicable to their age. This book has information for all age groups, so it will be helpful until they are past the point of me being able to influence them anymore!
Great work Amy, I greatly appreciate your insight into society and the mentality of humanity!

If parenting came with a manual oh, this would be it.
It's better to build children than to repair men.

Thank you Amy Morin
This is a book that I want in print. It has so many valuable layers that I see coming to play for the rest of my parenthood. Listening was also great, it was easy to follow, motivational and at times even funny- humans have silly habits! Thank you for sharing your wisdom

Best parenting book yet!
Was blessed I came across Amy’s article “13 Things Mentally Strong Parents Don’t Do.” Even more thrilled she’d written a book by the same title! Taken each “thing” into great depth. My daughter is struggling with anxiety & full blown tantrums, so timely for us. Every chapter has given insight to the root of the challenges plus concrete guidance on how we can adjust our parenting. It also helped me understand why there is an epidemic of anxiety, behavior issues & difficult transitions to adulthood. In an attempt to be “good parents” we’re creating unintended negative consequences. Amy’s compassionate approach & years of experience make it easy to embrace her practical advice that address the toughest parenting quagmires. I’ve been recommending this book to every parent I know. A must read!

Great information. Every parent should read this before they have children. It should be referenced throughout the child rearing years.
