Elevate Your Kids (Why Good Parents Are Raising Anxious, Fragile Children And What to Do About It)

What if the way you're parenting is holding your kids back?

Today's parents are more involved, more informed, and more devoted than ever. And yet, we're raising a generation with record levels of anxiety and fragility, increasingly unprepared for adulthood.

In Elevate Your Kids, award-winning CEO and father Robert Glazer reveals the uncomfortable truth: Many well-meaning parents are making the same critical mistake as ineffective leaders. They overmanage, overprotect, and unintentionally undermine the very children they're trying to develop.

The solution isn't to care less. It's to lead better, using the timeless principles that guide the most effective parents and leaders alike.

Drawing on decades of experience building high-performing teams and more than fifty years of research in child development, psychology, and education, Glazer shows how the same principles that create confident, capable leaders can raise resilient, self-sufficient kids. It starts with a powerful but often-missed balance: high standards and high support.

Built around four essential pillars—character, accountability, resilience, and teaching—Elevate Your Kids gives parents a clear, practical path to raising children who can handle challenges, take ownership, and thrive on their own.

This isn't about giving your child a perfect, frictionless life. It's about raising an adult who is strong enough to face adversity, and grateful, not for the obstacles you cleared, but for the strength to overcome them. It starts with seeing yourself as a leader, not a micromanager.
