"What Kids Need to Succeed is about raising successful adults. Raising happy, financially secure, fully realized human beings who treat themselves and others with respect and compassion, who act with integrity, work hard, who pursue their passions and find joy in life."

— from the foreword by Mark Victor Hansen, father of two, Co-creator, "Chicken Soup for the Soul" and "The One Minute Millionaire"

 

"We have gotten scared to death to parent from the heart, because we don't trust ourselves anymore.  To a mother who has often felt bombarded by the 'latest, greatest' way to effectively raise kids, this book is like a breath of fresh air.  Thanks for such a common sense approach."

--Tracy Chappelle, mother of two

We all want to give our children the skills they need to thrive when they’re grown. But most parenting books stop too soon. What Kids Need to Succeed helps parents stay focused on one simple truth: You're not raising children, you're raising future adults.

And doesn't that thought make you wonder:  What sets the ‘success stories’ apart from the rest?

By looking at today’s leaders, artists and entrepreneurs, Andrea Patten and Harry S. Patten illustrate the common childhood experiences shared by high achieving adults. Rich or poor, rural or urban, successful adults learned the Four Foundations— cornerstones for development of a lifetime of independence, compassion and determination.

You’ll find easy-to-read, uplifting stories of personal victory. More important, you’ll learn why nothing gives children a better chance of a prosperous life than teaching them the Four Foundations.

Parents tell us the love this book because it's:

  • easy-to-read, with short chapters for even the busiest (or most sleep-deprived!) parent
  • loaded with common sense
  • straight-forward and concise
  • stays focused on raising future adults
  • a wealth of uplifting stories and quotes from successful adults -- both well known and anonymous
  • helps us think differently about day-to-day parenting decisions
  • keeps the long-term goal of raising a happy, well-balanced, competent adult in the forefront
  • cuts through the clutter of conflicting parenting advice and gets right to the heart of the matter
  • supports parents in developing and pursuing their own definition of success... and of successful parenting
