"Esther Wojcicki--"Woj" to her many students and admirers around the world--is famous for three things: teaching a high school class that has changed the lives of thousands of kids, inspiring Silicon Valley legends like Steve Jobs, and raising three daughters who have each become famously successful. What do these three accomplishments have in common? They're the result of TRICK, Woj's secret to raising successful people: Trust, Respect, Independence, Collaboration, and Kindness. Simple lessons, but the results are radical. Wojcicki's methods are the opposite of helicopter parenting. As we face an epidemic of parental anxiety, Woj is here to say: relax. Talk to infants as if they are adults. Allow teenagers to pick projects that relate to the real world and their own passions, and let them figure out how to complete them. Above all, allow your child to lead. Parenting with TRICK, she shows, makes for happier children who have the skills to succeed in the twenty-first century. Woj's principles launched a revolution in classrooms and workplaces around the world because they bring out the best in people at any age. [This book] offers essential lessons for raising, educating, and managing people to their highest potential. Change your parenting, change the world."--Amazon.
