About Tim McCarthy

Tim McCarthy is a parenting book author and expert with a Master’s Degree in Education and a Grandmaster rank in the martial arts. He has combined his years of experience as a classroom teacher and administrator (in both public and private schools) with even more years of experience teaching and developing martial arts programs to create a simple plan for the education of children. He has spent years researching developmental child psychology, chosen the best studies, and distilled them into simple, understandable language. He then drew on his vast knowledge of activities that help children become stronger physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, and arranged them according to the capabilities of children at each age.

His unique perspective combining Eastern and Western educational philosophy creates a powerful road map for raising balanced children in an increasingly unbalanced world.

He has been a host and speaker at international conventions, has been a TEDx Speaker, and has appeared in hundreds of webinars and podcasts. He also currently has two YouTube channels and an active column in Martial Arts World News magazine.

If you want an exciting, informative guest for your show, you have found him!

What do Parents Say?

I love the fact that you've given them [parents] something to at least go to for a tool belt to start the process, and not be in the dark trying to figure out what to do.

Michael Fineman

Host of The Dad Link, father of one

We are so in need of what you are doing, and we are privileged to have someone like you who cares . . . who is passionate . . . who wants to help people.

Stanley Bronstein

Author, Speaker, Creator of The Way of Excellence

I like how this book helps you to understand why your kids need more than a 2-dimensional world, how they should be outside like I was, along with socializing face to face.

Melissa Botelho

Missy's Product Reviews

Each chapter is meticulously well-researched and yet also provides an authentic communication style by highlighting various ‘real-world’ scenarios with which parents and teachers can relate. This book is a ‘must-read.’
