About the Book

Too many kids are growing up without the life skills they'll actually need.

The good news, though, is that the solution is available to you right at home. In this short and highly practical parenting guide, you will learn how to use casual dinner conversations to help your kids . . .

  • Take on challenging hobbies and goals
  • Acquire valuable skills and knowledge faster
  • Gain practical and useful life experience
  • Confidently overcome obstacles and setbacks
  • Come up with creative solutions to problems
  • Adapt to unexpected challenges or hardships
  • Ask deep, thought-provoking questions
  • Be grateful for the positive things in life
  • Model useful traits for siblings and friends
Research has made it clear that one of the most important reasons children are falling behind is because so much of their life is guided by others. Teachers provide their assignments. Coaches plan their drills. Parents choose their activities. While this can be helpful in moderation, too much guidance can teach kids to wait for direction instead of taking initiative.In the real world, overreliance on others is a recipe for failure. The happiest, most successful adults don't just follow instructions: They think for themselves. They take action. They adapt when their life or career is transformed by technology. This book will prepare you to raise kids who will do the same-by nurturing their curiosity, confidence, and problem-solving abilities.Dinner Time Conversations isn't just another parenting book full of advice you'll quickly forget. Its eight principles are built around a casual, daily dinner routine that you and your kids will actually enjoy. One that will help them steadily develop into highly capable, independent thinkers who are fully prepared to take on life's rewarding challenges.

About the Author :
Rick Kettner dropped out of high school to pursue life as an entrepreneur during the 'dot com boom' of the late 1990s. While his early startup ideas found limited success, he persisted and went on to cofound three highly successful businesses in online music education, including Drumeo, Pianote, and Guitareo.Now a father of three young children, he has become obsessed with understanding how parents can best prepare their kids to thrive in an increasingly unpredictable world. This has led him to not only reflect on the merits of his own unusual upbringing, but to also study the latest expert advice to gain a deeper understanding of how to best nurture critical life skills.Dinner Time Conversations is the result of that obsession. It covers practical, time-tested wisdom combined with cutting-edge insights on a range of relevant topics, including skill development, human psychology, and effective mentorship. The book covers eight principles for helping children acquire the skills, experience, and confidence needed to live fulfilling lives.
