商品簡介
A breakthrough parenting book that redefines the meaning of A"geekA"A-and inspires parents to free themselves and their kids from the A'culture of cool.A'
In a world of superficial values, peer pressure, and out-of-control consumerism, the world needs more GEEKs: Genuine, Enthusiastic, Empowered Kids. TodayA's A'culture of coolA' has changed the way kids grow up. Rather than enjoying innocent childhoods while developing strong, authentic characters, todayA's kids can become cynicalA-even jadedA-as they absorb the dangerous messages and harmful influences of a dominant popular culture that encourages materialism, high-risk behaviors, and a state of pseudo-adulthood.
Author and mother of four Marybeth Hicks suggests an alternative: bringing up geeks. In this groundbreaking book, she shows parents how they can help their children gain the enthusiasm to pursue their passions, not just the latest fashions; the confidence to resist peer pressure and destructive behaviors; the love of learning that helps them excel at school and in life; and the maturity to value family as well as friends, as well as make good moral decisions.
With a foundation like that, kids will grow up to be the coolest adults.
