How to Raise Kids Who Aren't Assholes

Join us for a book talk and conversation with Melinda Moyer, author of How To Raise Kids Who Aren't Assholes. Using data-driven and research-based tools, Melinda considers what the science world can offer the parenting world. She explores topics like building resilience, sibling relationships, nurturing generosity, and bullying with an honest eye toward offering practical strategies that parents can employ in their daily lives. We look forward to a good humored and engaging evening with Melinda, science journalist and mother of two.
