A pivotal book for all parents who struggle with how to teach their children to be compassionate, empathic, and socially intelligent.” —Dr. Shefali Tsabary, New York Times bestselling author of The Conscious Parent “Insightful.

The ‘Me; Me, Me’ Epidemic is an important (and game-changing) read for anyone raising kids in our 24/7, give-them-whatever-they-want and never let them experience disappointment, culture. Ready to empower your kids without making them entitled? For the sake of the children, read this book.” —Dr. Jane Nelsen, author and coauthor of the Positive Discipline series “Do you cave in to your kids' demands even when you know it's a bad idea?
