Erica Reischer, Ph.D. is a California-based psychologist, author, and parent educator. A former consultant with McKinsey & Company, Dr. Reischer sits on the advisory board for Happy Healthy Kids and leads popular parenting classes at schools and organizations such as UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital, Habitot Children's Museum, and the University of California.
Dr. Reischer's writing about children and families appears in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Psychology Today, and The Atlantic. She is also the author of "What Great Parents Do: 75 Simple Strategies for Raising Kids Who Thrive" which will be released on August 16.
"Packed with useful, practical advice and how-to's, this book promises to be one that every parent will wish they had from day one."
—Dr. Madeline Levine, New York Times bestselling author of The Price of Privilege and Teach Your Children Well
“Erica Reischer offers a 'cheat sheet' of best parenting practices. Equipped with her wisdom, we all have the potential to be ‘great parents.’”
—Peggy Orenstein, New York Times bestselling author of Girls & Sex: Navigating the Complicated New Landscape and Cinderella Ate My Daughter
"As much as parents crave wisdom, we really want someone to have our back in those hard parenting moments. Dr. Erica Reischer delivers. With oodles of great scenarios drawn from real life, it’s like she hits the pause button, and whispers a key piece of advice. Her advice isn’t just about handling kids, though—it’s about how to be more mindful of our own behavior so we can appreciate the impact we’re having on our kids in these moments. Reischer may be offering simple strategies, but the wisdom behind them is incredibly deep and profound."
—Julie Lythcott-Haims, New York Times bestselling author of How to Raise an Adult, and former dean, Stanford University
"The great anthropologist Margaret Mead used to say that she could not understand our priorities: We require by law for people to get driving permits, but we allow people to bring up children without demonstrating any aptitude for parenting. If things were to change, Dr. Reischer's book would become an essential Rules of the Road for would-be parents."
—MIHALY CSIKSZENTMIHALYI, New York Times best-selling author of Flow and Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Management, Claremont Graduate University
"Dr. Erica Reischer has been teaching fact-filled, action-oriented, and incredibly useful parenting workshops for years now, and parents always leave wanting more. Even if you already have a collection of parenting books, you'll still want this one."
- Rachel Kadner, Habitot Children's Museum, Parenting & Community Partnerships Manager
