The most precious gift you can give your child isn't a generous trust fund or a five-star education — it's the resiliency and unwavering sense of optimism that allows a person to thrive no matter what challenges life sends their way. In Raising an Optimistic Child, you'll learn how to set the stage for lifelong happiness in your child -even if only an infant- and protect him or her from the pain and damage of depression.
Co-authored by Dr Bob Murray and Dr Alicia Fortinberry

"ll bet there'll be a lot of parents of children over the age of six who'll curse the authors for not bringing out this book earlier! I wish I'd read it twenty years ago. Still I'm now set up to be a really good grand-parent. "Raising an Optimistic Child" is streets ahead of anything else written about raising optimistic children (and I've been reading a lot of child-raising books lately). It's clear, intensely practical and very simple to follow. In truth much of the information in the book is useful for people of any age who want to be more optimistic - even people like me in their 50s!...I'm giving this book to my mom-to-be daughter. It's the best present I could possibly give her - and her baby!"

"I have read at least a dozen parenting books .
This one really stands out because it is mostly about why parents react in a particular way - that is how our own childhood experiences control the way we react to our kids and how to get hold of our legacy parenting. A must read for every parent who wants the best for their kids. It is also very HELPFUL in deciding the right age for day care, preschool and a bible for working moms."
