How to Raise Successful People: Simple Lessons for Radical Results
£16.99
The Godmother of Silicon Family, dubbed the ‘Panda Mom’ (as opposed to the Tiger Mom), Esther Wojcicki’s approach is about deep nurturing to encourage independence, responsibility, self-motivation and success in children – and adults! Wojcicki’s methods are the opposite of helicopter parenting and have been lauded by the likes of Steve Jobs and James Franco, who credits his success with Esther’s belief in him. However, her greatest testaments are her three daughters who are all hugely successful: Susan is the CEO of YouTube; Anne is the Co-Founder and CEO of 23andMe; Janet is a leading medical researcher and Fulbright Scholar at UCSF. And most importantly, she has a great relationship with all three of them. Her secret? Relax. Talk to children as if they are adults. Allow teenagers to pick projects that relate to the real world and their own passions. Above all, let your child lead.

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.
