Advance praise for THE BIGGEST JOB WE'LL EVER HAVE:
 
"This is one of the most profound and important books I have ever read. If every parent could apply these principles, not only would their children and families be healthier, but so would our society. A must read for anyone interested in overcoming mediocrity."

&emdash;Patrick Lencioni, President, The Table Group and author of The Five Temptations of a CEO

 
"From my 50 years of studying virtuous leadership, one single factor stands out: character. It is only character that counts in leadership and maturity. The Hyde Schools know how it's learned and developed. The Gauld's book incarnates with eloquent and moving language how Hyde achieves its miracles."

&emdash;Warren Bennis, Distinguished Professor of Business, USC and author of Managing the Dream

 
"Laura and Malcolm Gauld have written an excellent book. It condenses the principles and concepts of Hyde School, a curriculum that has been revolutionizing the connection between parenting and education for the last 35 years. The truth will set you free, indeed. If you have a child, read this book."

&emdash;John Hiatt, singer-songwriter

 
"This book is a treasure trove of wisdom and practical know-how for both parents and educators. This book comes out of the heads, hearts and guts of the people who have built one of America's great schools. It is a highly readable blueprint for raising and educating strong children of character."

&emdash;Kevin Ryan, PhD

Professor and Director Emeritus

"Expert educators Laura and Malcolm Gauld challenge parents to consider the values they treasure and they offer parents clear guidelines on how to develop those values in their children. The authors also provide a forum for parents and teachers to work in concert to achieve the results that matter most in life. Few books are as powerful in speaking to the hearts of parents and teachers."

"If you are serious about being a good parent, if you are devoted to improving on the parenting you received, if you are determined to help your kids find and express the good in them, then, I highly recommend you read this book. I found it personally helpful."

&emdash;Harold I. Eist, M.D., Past president, American Psychiatric Association, Bethesda, MD

 
"Character education is the bed rock of effective parenting. The Gaulds offer parents a much needed and workable strategy for building character in their kids. I applaud them."

&emdash;James Garbarino, Ph.D., Co-Director of the Family Life Development Center at Cornell University and author of Parents Under Siege
