For more than thirty years, Jennifer S. Miller, MEd, has collaborated with educators and families to help them become more effective with children and teens by learning how to support their development. She authored and illustrated the book Confident Parents, Confident Kids: Raising Emotional Intelligence in Ourselves and in Our Kids from Toddlers to Teenagers named as Top Parenting Book of 2020 by the Greater Good Science Center. She founded the organization by the same name growing an international platform through her blog with more than 24,000 followers in 152 countries world-wide. She has served as an expert contributor to NBC’s TODAY Parenting, PBS WNET, and Fred Rogers Productions. She has written and offered expertise for numerous publications including The Washington Post, The Huffington Post, and Parent Magazine. She conducted and published original peer-reviewed research with partner scholars entitled, “Parenting for Competence and Parenting with Competence.” She consults with schools, conducts research, and creates tools on parenting with partners at the National Parent Teacher Association, National University, Montana State University, and at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Research in this book was supported by the M.I.T. Presencing Institute. She frequently speaks at conferences, offers coaching to parents, and conducts workshops in Ohio and nationally. She has a master’s degree in Instructional Leadership with a focus on child and adolescent development and lives with her husband and eighteen-year-old son in Columbus, Ohio.

"Jennifer Miller has written the book that parents of teens need in this very moment of humanity. Humanaissance names what so many of us feel, but struggle to put into words. Our teens are growing up in a world reshaped by AI, and we may feel at a loss with how to deal with the fast-changing world. Jennifer’s book helps us remember that our teens' real advantage is everything that makes each of them human. What I loved is that each chapter is grounded in adolescent brain science. It then turns that research into habits that any family can practice. The eight courage habits show us the clear language we need for the hard conversations. What moved me most is her honesty about raising teens while caring for aging parents, something many of us are facing now. This book leans in with warmth, evidence, and lots of hope. A must-read for every parent from a long-time expert in the field!" —Dr. Helen Maffini, international educator, author and founder of MindBE Education
