I received this book through GoodReads First Reads in exchange for an honest review
To be honest, this wasn't the best parenting book I've read. I *loved* the concept, focusing on the child's self-esteem, looking at areas like love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, optimism, gentleness, and self-control. And I really did enjoy that at the end of every chapter they had a bunch of quotes from diverse sources relating to the subject of the chapter. I appreciated that they would quote Mother...more

It seems kind of weird and distressing that so many parenting books are needed. Although I suppose as the world becomes more complicated, fast-paced, technologically-centered, and narcissistic, then more information telling people how to parent will seem necessary. Yet really, be kind, well, duh. Love your child. Really? Do people really need to be told these things, given examples, etc.? Sadly, I guess they do. Can these traits be learnt from a book? Will someone telling parents to be gentle, k...more

I won this book, and was looking forward to reading it. I have read other books on building a child's self-esteem, but this book was nowhere near as informative as the other books I've read. Based on Christian scriptures and theoretical/hypothetical situations, this book focuses on nine fundamental traits that should be taught to a child, including peace, love, joy, and patience. I wanted this book to be more grounded in practical application rather than theoretical and generalized positive valu...more
cute book full of ideas to help children build self esteem. There are short fictional stories about children who encounter different problems and how they solved them using self-esteem methods. The book is a little hard to understand as to what age range it is for, but I would say after your child is in school. Most of these situations are biased upon children who have some basic reading skills and can think and process multi-tiered questions.
I won this book in a goodreads giveaway. I'm not sure what to say except I was a bit disappointed because I thought it'd be a little bit more in depth. There's a few good suggestions on becoming a better person and hoping it'll rub off on your kids... I feel like its more geared to older children with the activities they give you but oh well I guess.
I was really looking forward to getting this book. It has a lot of great ideas in it and I believe it would be a support to not just parents. I took it to work, where I work with people with disabilities and all of my co-workers have taken a peek at it and have tasken tips to help with our jobs.
Another Goodreads First Reads win! This book looks really interesting. I look forward to reading it.
Overall this book had some good ideas, many of them I hope you use when my kids get a little older.
