Elevate Your Kids

The Most Devoted Generation of Parents Is Raising the Least Prepared Generation of Adults 

Today’s parents are more involved, more informed, and more invested than ever. And yet, we are raising kids with record levels of anxiety and fragility who are unprepared for adult life.

In Elevate Your Kids, bestselling author of Elevate and father of three Robert Glazer draws on a career spent helping people reach their potential. Twice named one of Glassdoor’s Top CEOs in America, including a #2 ranking, Glazer has built a global following of hundreds of thousands of readers through his writing, many of them leaders who are also parents. He reveals how many devoted parents today make the same mistake as ineffective leaders: they overmanage, overprotect, and undermine the very people they’re trying to develop.

The solution isn’t to care less. It’s to lead better.

Backed by decades building high-performing teams and more than fifty years of research in child development, psychology, leadership, and education, Glazer offers a practical alternative: high standards paired with high support. His CART framework (Character, Accountability, Resilience, Teaching) turns that into a path for parents raising kids who can handle hard things, own their choices, and thrive on their own.

Elevate Your Kids isn’t a plan for a frictionless childhood. It’s a plan for an independent adult who can face adversity, grateful for the strength and capacity you built in them, not the obstacles you cleared.
