Following the success of our parent education work with Sheri Glucoft Wong last year, we are pleased to continue our commitment to meaningful partnership with families by welcoming Jessica Lahey to INTL this year.
Jessica is a veteran teacher, education journalist, and New York Times bestselling author of The Gift of Failure: How the Best Parents Learn to Let Go So Their Children Can Succeed. She is also the author of The Addiction Inoculation: Raising Healthy Kids in a Culture of Dependence. Her work draws on research and decades of experience with children, families, and educators to explore motivation, independence, resilience, and the vital role that mistakes and setbacks play in learning.
