For Stuart Shanker, the possibility of a truly just and free society begins with how we see and nurture our children. He is renowned for using cutting-edge neuroscience to help children feel happy and think clearly by better regulating themselves. The paradigm revolution presented by Shanker not only helps us understand the harrowing time we are living through, but inspires a profound sense of hope for the future. He shares that there is no such thing as a bad kid, or a fixed outcome and that all people can learn to self-regulate in ways that promote rather than constrict growth. Shanker shows us how to build a compassionate society, one mind at a time. He is a distinguished research professor emeritus of philosophy and psychology at York University and a bestselling author on the topic of self-regulation and child development.
