Summary:
Christina was a CIA analyst with a burgeoning career in espionage when she met fellow spy Ryan, a hotshot field operative. They fell in love, married, and soon were raising three children from his first marriage, and two more of their own. She noticed that Ryan's kids were much more security savvy than most adults she knew, and realized he was using his CIA training and field experience in his day-to-day child-rearing. The CIA trains its employees to be equipped to deal with just about anything. Shouldn't parents strive to do the same for their kids? Here the Hillsbergs share their distinctive approach to raising confident, security-conscious, resilient children: well-rounded kids who have the skills necessary to navigate through life. -- adapted from jacket
