A book for parents raising good humans
Good Humans, Grown
A parenting field guide grounded in stories, research, and lived experience.
About the book
Thirty years in classrooms and schools, distilled into a field guide you can keep on the kitchen counter.
Drawing on three decades in public education — as a teacher, a principal, and now an education, nonprofit partner; and twenty-five years of parenting, Catina shares her family's real, imperfect journey. Good Humans, Grown lays out ten field-tested principles for raising children who grew into genuinely capable, connected adults; then puts that claim to the test by bringing in the two people best qualified to grade it: the kids themselves, now grown, reflecting candidly on what worked, what they resented at the time, and what they carried into adulthood anyway.
