In their most recent book Drs. Sam Goldstein and Robert Brooks examine how multiple generations of parents and caregivers raised children to become successful adults.  Tenacity in Children: Nurturing the Seven Instincts of Lifetime Success identifies seven instincts or inborn attributes that include the rudimentary forms of intuitive optimism, intrinsic motivation, compassionate empathy, simultaneous intelligence, genuine altruism, virtuous responsibility, and measured fairness.  The book describes realistic and practical strategies to nurture these instincts, which are housed within the concept of “tenacity.”  Tenacity in Children provides a solid foundation to prepare children for a resilient, meaningful, and happy future.  Psychologist Maurice Elias wrote, “This book will change our schools, our approach to mental health and parenting, and how we conduct civic life.”

This book serves as a rich resource not only for parents but also for researchers, practitioners, and graduate students in mental health and public health disciplines as well as many interrelated fields as we all strive to promote the well-being of children.
