But as Melinda's children grew, she found that one huge area was ignored in the realm of parenting advice: how do we make sure our kids don't grow up to be assholes?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn social media, in the news, and from the highest levels of government, kids are increasingly getting the message that being selfish, obnoxious and cruel is okay. Hate crimes among children and teens are rising, while compassion among teens has been dropping. We know, of course, that young people have the capacity for great empathy, resilience, and action, and we all want to bring up kids who will help build a better tomorrow. But how do we actually do this? How do we raise children who are kind, considerate, and ethical inside and outside the home, who will grow into adults committed to making the world a better place?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHow to Raise Kids Who Aren't Assholes\u003c\/em\u003e is a deeply researched, evidence-based primer that provides a fresh, often surprising perspective on parenting issues, from toddlerhood through the teenage years.

Learn how to raise the kind of kids you actually want to hang out with — and who just might save the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47455593169132,"sku":"9781472288783","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/81Yrjf_PKGL._SL1500.jpg?v=1774785650"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/melinda-wenner-moyer.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
