Dear Truth Fairy Reader,
I’m so excited that my first Bad Therapy: Why the Kids Aren’t Growing Up, has landed in the pages of the Daily Mail. Find it here. For my American readers, the word in the lede is “spanked.” (“Smacked” is the Britishism.)
On Monday, I’ll be dropping one of my favorite excerpts right here, exclusively on the Truth Fairy.
And on Tuesday, February 27, Bad Therapy will be available for immediate purchase wherever books are sold! (Or pre-order here now).
It’s been a long journey. Thank you, dear Readers, for your support. I have a dizzying schedule of podcasts and media appearances coming up. I’ll be sure to post them all right here.
I look forward to your reactions.
xo,
Abigail
The remarkable Abigail Shrier does it again - 5 stars.
Great book, but especially Chapter 4 on social - emotional learning.
Ms. Shrier's critique of SEL devastates this "curricular juggernaut that devours billions ... and upwards of 8 percent of teacher time", with extreme prejudice.
Bravo.
I just listened to your podcast with Joe Rogan. As someone who has raised 8 children, i can not agree with you more.
Children need to be able to test themselves and need to be told to figure it out from time to time.
I was a free range parent and let my kids explore the world on their own and they turned out resilient and independent.
Thank you for writing about what ive been saying for years. Yes, we ALL have trauma! Stop dwelling on it and move forward!
