Summary
The Steps: 12 Secrets to Raising Happy and Successful Kids is the ultimate parenting guide, all based on the most recent scientific discoveries but with a twist: It is narrated in a fictional format and is, thus, easier to understand and much more fun.
With this audiobook, you will:
- Learn the 12 steps to raising happy and successful kids
- Understand the value of communication and connection from an early age
- Develop your children's values, deliberate practice, and growth mind-set
What’s in it for you (and your kids)?
Follow the story of Estela, a successful journalist, who encounters a young boy who knows how to read better than most adults.
Intrigued with the exceptional ability of the boy, she finds out that he attends the Awake Clinic, where the renowned neuroscientist Dr. Michael Jansen works.
There, Estela finds out about "the steps", an innovative protocol, based on the recent advances of science and psychology. The protocol targets the development of communication and language of the child, early reading, creativity, self-control, discipline, grit, and values, among others, to give them the right tools to promote the cognitive, psychomotor, and affective behaviors of babies, children, and adolescents.
Dr. Michael Jansen decides to share with Estela and her readers the 12 steps from the protocol. In the meantime, she finds out about her pregnancy. What better time to check if the steps really work?
This thinly veiled story will give you a first-row seat to 12 game-changing parenting lessons. By the end of this informative parenting audiobook, you will be able to:
- Communicate better with your child which in turn will build an iron-clad relationship
- Promote focus, creativity, and self-control which will help to create a balanced young adult

Easy to follow and practical
This book is very different to most child development books on the market. As it is told in the way of a fictional novel - it keeps the reader engaged whilst learning along the way. It is wonderful and easy to follow and the information flows . It is very practical handbook to refer back to as it covers such a vast amount of information for parents and parents to be . Highly recommended . I was given this book by the author/narrator in return for an honest and unbiased review

Useful, and in an engaging format.
I recieved a review copy of this book. It is interesting and well narrated. Whilst the steps are not something that I haven't seen before, the fictional presentation makes them very interesting and engaging. My only criticism would be that toward the end of the book the story became a little over the top and began to distract s little from. the information it was trying to convey.

Brilliant
The Steps is a must read for any parent. The concept of putting all of this information into a fictional story to make it easier to understand is brilliant. It was like a novel you couldn't put down but also gave all of this valuable insight and tried and true parenting tips. I highly recommend it for new parents as well as experienced parents.
