Dan Kindlon, author of the bestselling book RAISING CAIN, presents advice for raising children in a post-9/11 society. Kindlon combines biological and psychological research with true stories of people who were raised in very stressful situations (such as during the Great Depression and World War II) but yet managed to become thriving adults with meaningful and emotionally healthy lives. Using these stories as examples, Kindlon instructs parents on how children, despite their fear or grief, can be empowered to face whatever challenges await them in life.
