About this listen

Random House presents the audiobook edition of How to Raise Successful People written by Esther Wojcicki, read by Andrea Gallo.
______________________________
Being a parent is complicated – but the trick to succeed is simpler than you think.

There are no Nobel Prizes for parenting or education, but if there were, Esther Wojcicki would be the bookies’ favourite. Known as the Godmother of Silicon Valley – or simply Woj – Esther’s three daughters have all gone on to huge success in their professional fields and, more importantly, their personal lives. What’s her secret?

As we face an epidemic of parental and childhood anxiety, Woj has the advice every parent wants to hear: climb out of that helicopter and relax.

Her tried and tested TRICK system will help you:

· Let your child discover their own passions
· Move on from past parenting mistakes
· Build rock-solid foundations for a lifelong relationship
· Be brave enough to give your child freedom
· Work with your children, not against them
· Set healthy relationships with technology

Your children are the future. If you change your parenting, you can change the world.

as an expectant parent and trainee teacher I am trying to learn as much as possible about how to support and inspire children to be their best selves. The ideas in this book (the TRICK model: Trust, Respect, Independence, Collaboration and Kindness) not only resonate with a desire to raise empowered, compassionate children, they also collaborate what a lot of research shows is most effective in education. Project based learning which requires students to use a range of skills across multiple domains rather than rote memorisation or teaching to the test. Giving childen responsibility and independance, and encouraging them to reflect on their successes, failures and impact on others promotes good metacognition (thinking about thinking) and encourages them to better manage their own learning and develop problem solving and resilience.

And everything always comes back to kindness, and teaching children to always think about how what they do impacts others, and how they can help others, can only be a positive in a society that often pushes a sense of individualism on children, often to the detriment of our mental health in the long term.

I enjoyed this book in most part, although I found it a little long and repetitive at times.

narrator can’t even pronounce foreign names (spanish, french you name it) so lots of cites, names of people or schools are getting slaughtered. she is also very very slow and sometimes emotionless.
truly shame cause I thought it was a great book and with lovely messages. I would not recommend the audiobook though!

great book - BAD choice of narrator
