10 to 25: The Science of Motivating Young People👍 Recommends
…explaining the development framework and psychology behind Alpha's mentoring approach
“And then, you know, on the school side now there's this, there's a professor, Dr. Yeager, who's written a great book that every parent should read, which is called 10 to 25, the science of motivating your kid from age 10 to 25. He's the one who actually developed our child development side and how our adults, our guides work, which is mentor mindset, high standards, high support.”

Self-Driven Child👍 Recommends
…describing books required for parents at different grade levels in the Alpha curriculum
“Once you get to middle school at Alpha, you have to read 10 to 25. There's another book, self-driven child that we do not allow kindergarten moms to read because it talks about your kid being independent and a kindergarten is the last thing you want to worry about. But once you get to middle school, right, that's where kids, you have to know, they're moving independence.”
