That we humans are happiest when we are living for each other and discovering the fun that brings. In a society that is all about ‘me’ we have never been more stressed or miserable. Caring is a word that holds the key to life going well, and is the real heart of being human. This book shows you how to foster it. ~ Steve Biddulph , Parenting expert and best-selling author of Raising Girls and Raising Boys. "We did the 'what's my superpower?' conversation last night and had a blast... laughing, arguing, thinking and TALKING. Tonight we sat outside around the fire and my son led 'listening well'. It made us all think deeply. It's been brilliant!" ~ A reader's family. This is a brilliant book. I just wish it had been around when my own children were younger! It is a treasure trove of insight, information and inspiration; with excellent questions and ideas for deepening the conversations in families, helping them to become rich places for the exploration of deep values and character formation. Every parent needs it in hand. - Tim Costello AO, Former CEO and Chief Advocate, World Vision Australia This remarkable book is about hope that change is possible. As a caring parent, an inspiring practitioner with a deep sense of social justice, and a brilliant peace scholar, the author invites us on the journey of nurturing hope in the world, one family at a time. I cannot wait to delve into each of the 40 family conversations in this book with my family. - Dr Dong Jin Kim , Senior Research Fellow in Peace and Reconciliation Studies, Trinity College, Dublin Wise, warm, imaginative and intensely practical ... Raising Kids Who Care is like a blueprint for building strong families and caring communities. Highly recommended for anyone who cares about the future of our children and our society. - Hugh Mackay AO, Psychologist, social researcher and bestselling author I confess to being tired of books of parenting advice. After reading through the usual list of do's and don'ts the only thing most of us can agree on is that we don't make the grade. Susy Lee's approach is different. She offers a way of parenting that feels authentic, achievable and, most importantly, could really make a difference to the world. She offers hope, encouragement and practical wisdom to every hard-pressed and bewildered parent who yearns to speak to their kids about what really matters. - Dr Roger Bretherton , Associate Professor and Clinical Psychologist Our world and most importantly our children are being bombarded in every aspect of their life. As parents and carers an enabling environment to create kids who care has never been harder or more important. Susy Lee's Raising Kids Who Care provides a formulaic, data driven approach supported by a workbook for all readers including the kids! Read it and then practice so you and your clan can enable the difference we all yearn for - generational improvement. - Karen James , C
