There are some useful tips and many examples of how we can encourage our children in this book. I like it that there are Scripture verses to reinforce values, learning and teachings. It is so important to speak appropriately to our children especially when they are experiencing anger, fear or sadness. Sometimes we get angry ourselves and we assume the wrong things. I learnt we need to first deal with these emotions ourselves so we are in the 'right frame of mind' to help our children. Remove 'criticise' from our actions list. Be an Encourager!

One of the best books I've read on this subject matter. I highlighted throughout the book. It's thorough yet not overwhelming. I would recommend to anyone who wants to understand emotions.
