Jeff Nelligan is the father of three boys and a well-known commentator in the world of American parenting. His most recent work is the 2nd edition of Four Lessons from My Three Sons – How You Can Raise Resilient Kids, in which he outlines how his parenting techniques helped guide his sons through childhood and adolescence to the U.S. Naval Academy, Williams College, and West Point.
Jeff, known as "Nellie" has a parenting philosophy that is rooted in four cornerstones: personal courtesy, confidence, resilience in adversity, and ambition. He believes that these qualities are essential for children to navigate the complexities of modern life. As he points out, a staggering 75% of the time spent with children is over by the age of 12, making early engagement crucial for instilling these values.
How to do this when teens average nearly nine hours a day on digital devices and are experiencing rising mental health issues? According to Nelly, this electronic addiction that permeates our youth hampers the development of interpersonal skills and contributes to a generation struggling with civic and social virtues. This shows up in our workforce: Fifty eight percent of hiring managers reporting that recent graduates are not ready for the job market.
What are the practical and actionable tips for parents looking to steer their children through and around today's digital landscape? How do we integrate technology wisely into the world of our youth for their future success as people and as successful contributors to society?
It's an Award Winning, Amazon best selling book!
