LICENSE TO PARENT
Ryan Hillsberg Christina Hillsberg
How My Career as a Spy Helped Me Raise Resourceful, Self-Sufficient Kids
A groundbreaking parenting guide told through the eyes of a CIA spy turned stay-at-home-mom who leverages her CIA skills and training to teach parents how to raise confident, security-conscious children.
Christina was a single, successful CIA analyst with a burgeoning career in espionage when she met fellow spy, Ryan, a hotshot field operative who turned her world upside down. They fell in love, married, and soon were raising the three children from his first marriage, and later, two more together.
Christina knew immediately that there was something special about the way Ryan was parenting his kids, although she had to admit that their obsession with surviving end-of-world scenarios and their ability to do everything from archery to motorcycle riding initially gave her pause. But more than that, Ryan's kids were much more security-savvy than most adults she knew.
Christina soon realized that Ryan was using his CIA training and field experience in his day-to-day child-rearing. And why shouldn't he? The CIA trains its employees to be equipped to deal with just about anything. Shouldn't parents strive to do the same for their kids?
As Christina grew into her new role as a stepmom and later gave birth to two children, she got on board with Ryan's unique parenting styleand even helped shape it using her own experiences at the CIA. Told through honest and relatable parenting anecdotes, Christina shares their distinctive approach to raising confident, security-conscious, resilient children, offering practical takeaways rooted in CIA tradecraft along the way. LICENSE TO PARENT will provide parents with the tools necessary to raise savvy, well-rounded kids who have the skills necessary to navigate through life.
Christina Hillsberg and Ryan Hillsberg are former spies with 20+ years' experience working at the Central Intelligence Agency and a combined 24 years of parenting. They live near Seattle with their five children.
