Helicopter parenting taught us to hover.
Spaceship Parenting teaches us to prepare children for the journey ahead.
Every parent wants to raise children who are kind, resilient, respectful, and independent. But in a world filled with smartphones, social media, endless distractions, and conflicting advice, finding a parenting approach that truly works isn't easy.
That's when help arrives...
An alien spacecraft lands in Dr. Ricky Arenson's backyard.
Nova hasn't traveled across the galaxy to discuss world peace, interstellar travel, or the meaning of life. She has come to teach humanity something far more important.
Children don't need perfect parents. They need better leaders.
Through humor, science, memorable stories, and practical strategies, Spaceship Parenting introduces the Ten Rules of Spaceship Parenting—a simple framework for raising children who think for themselves, make wise decisions, become their own managers, and grow into capable, responsible adults.
Inside you'll discover how to:
• Become the calm, confident leader your children need.
• Protect your marriage through the toughest years of parenting.
• Replace conflict with cooperation—especially during the teenage years.
• Discover what really determines who your children become when they grow up.
• Teach the Stop Rule—a simple habit that can prevent countless poor choices and lifelong regrets.
• Raise curious minds instead of constant chaos.
• Take back control from screens, social media, and the algorithms competing for your child's attention.
• Help children become their own managers—ready for a productive, independent life without you.
Whether your children are toddlers, teenagers, or somewhere in between, these ten practical principles will help you build a happier family and raise children who don't just succeed in life—they help build a better future.
The civilizations of tomorrow are being raised in today's living rooms.
A wonderful excerpt from the Book for those interested in seeing the Inside.
I read the synopsis of this book and knew I needed to read it. Spaceship Parenting: Raising Smarter, Kinder, More Capable Children by Ricky Arenson is a Parenting Book.
Parenting Kids in today's society can be a challenge as Technology and Societal Pressures can overtake Children's minds and time. I really LOVE that Mr. Arenson addresses the need for parents to be more active in their parenting and GUIDE their children through life. The Guidance should begin when kids reach Toddler age and throughout their Young Adult years. I REALLY like the term Spaceship Parenting as it seems to be a Parenting Approach that will give guidance and direction throughout life that will PREPARE your children for LIFE and the reality of what lies ahead in their future. I have always taken an approach of wanting my Boys to be Independent, Wise, and Strong Young Men. My Boys have reached the Young Adult Age and they still live at Home. I LOVE that my Boys still trust me with the Young Adult Parenting Stage, as Parenting is a Never Ending Job.
The Book is FUNNY and has a GREAT Narrative. The author has really created a WONDERFULLY INSIGHTFUL Book with Humor for the reader, I HIGHLY Suggest this book for Parents who are looking for some encouragement in Parenting in today's WORLD. GREAT BOOK!
