Last year, Tiger Mothers were superior. This year, French mommy-hood has been deemed
a cut above. Are other mothers generally better than us at producing high-functioning and high-achieving kids? And do they enjoy parenting more than we do?
Maybe. Tiger mothers, soccer mothers, French mamas, working mothers, stay-at-home-mothers: We each have our strengths. We don’t have a lot of empirical evidence about what brand of mommy is “best,” but we do have a lot of data about what makes for good parenting. I’ve spent the last 10+ years deep in that research.
Read this post from my Greater Good blog for the my top ten tips for being the best mom you can be.

“Wow. I have never really participated in an online community like this, and I have to say it is incredibly inspirational. I feel honored to be in the company of such honest, thoughtful, self-aware people.”
“I am still hearing positive feedback from moms and dads about ways they are trying to make gratitude a more intentional part of their lives.”

“Christine, your work has made a positive impact on me and my family in more ways than you can imagine.”
"My wife and I have been putting your advice into practice, and it is making a difference by giving us confidence and helping our kids."
“What a fantastic class this is! WOW! I am finding this class SO helpful. I knew that some things worked better than other things...I just didn't have all this neuroscience to explain it.”
“Hearing Christine Carter speak, and reading her Happiness Tip emails, have changed how I view the world.”
