This single book has sold over 400,000 copies. This book will teach you how to help your children develop the following high-performance qualities: confidence, initiative, diligence; creativity, perseverance, compassion; cooperation, judgment, problem-solving skills, and focus. Parents who want to help their children as much as possible but don’t know how can turn to High-Performance Qualities Development for guidance... Every family, including grandparents like me, can utilize these courses—Barbara Bush, former First Lady of the United States. High-Performance Qualities Development is a unique blend of emotional and intellectual development that nurtures children’s personalities both emotionally and intellectually. It motivates each of us to pursue lifelong learning—Tipper Gore, former Vice President of the United States and child lawyer. High-Performance Qualities Development is written for all of us. This book seriously studies the responsibilities of teachers and parents, as well as their shared responsibility for children—not in vague theoretical terms but with specific methods that can ensure children’s success—Bob Chase, President of the National Education Association. High-performance qualities are the intrinsic motivation for children’s learning, like the fuel that drives a car. Although they are reinforced in school, the source is at home. This book not only guides parents in helping their children acquire basic knowledge but also leads them on a path to consciously pursue knowledge and creatively apply it throughout their lives. The reason these curricula have been adopted by education departments in all 48 states in the U.S. and supported by renowned foundations, including the MacArthur Foundation, lies in Dr. Rich’s creative transformation of daily life into concrete plans for developing high-performance qualities, enabling every parent to become an expert in quality education.
