The Blessing of a Skinned Knee

A bestselling phenomenon among parents and educators, this book is an inspiring new roadmap for raising children. Wendy Mogel’s sage reflections on a world where entitlement and competition abound have struck a chord with thousands of readers. When the values of the culture are at odds with the one parents wish to uphold and instill, The Blessing of a Skinned Knee offers a refreshing antidote. Instead of anxious overparenting, the book points the way to raising self-reliant, grateful, optimistic children.

Publisher’s Weekly gave The Blessing of a Skinned Knee a starred review saying, “Impassioned, lyrical and eminently practical, this volume is a real treasure.”
