ESSENTIAL for all parents and educators to read
Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2021
As an elementary educator for the last fifteen years, I finally found a book that put all the frustration and wondering of why kids come to school struggling, drained, and overwhelmed. Borba states, "We are creating strivers, not thinkers, produced to be test-takers while missing the opportunity to be people."She points out that we are all running on empty. In her book, she discusses the 7 core strengths that kids need in order to shine. Thrivers not only provides readers with current research, but it has practical and easy tips that both parents and educators can do to help foster a new generation of thrivers and not strivers.If you are worried about your children's mental health, depression, anxiety, and stress, you must read this book. This book comes at a time when we all must work together to move the pendulum of what achievement looks like in 2021 and reimagine education for our youth, tweens, teens, and young adults.Truly, this book has been life-changing.

Dr. Michele Borba’s latest book, Thrivers, is a must-read for every parent, grandparent, educator, or just anyone working with children. Dr. Borba speaks from the heart with years of research to back up every word. Wisdom oozes from every page of Thrivers. One of her quotes that really resonated with me was, “Character is what builds inner strength, genuineness, and wholeness and helps turn kids who strive for the next gold ring into young adults who thrive in a fast-paced, ever-changing world. When kids are missing character strengths like optimism, curiosity, empathy, and perseverance their development is incomplete.” Thrivers is filled with “Seven Teachable Skills That Set Happy, Healthy, High-Performing Kids Apart”. Thrivers shows us exactly how to instill these incredibly important missing character pieces in our children/students so they won’t be incomplete. This is crucial so they will be prepared for whatever they are faced with in the future. I want my students to be Thrivers! Dr. Borba’s book is just what we need! What an inspirational read!
