How to raise a resilient kid

Excellent book! As the father of a young adventurous girl and a city dweller the book really provides a lot of ideas on how to expose kids to nature, art, etc and build resiliency. As a parent my thinking and child raising has been trending in this direction. The book more than supports my views.
