The concept of resilience and how it can help children manage their lives can be very useful to any parent - or any person involved with helping people wanting to live more positive, successful lives. The information Dixon covered in this short book is valid, but the writing style is that of an enthusiastic amateur gushing about something he found eye-opening. The writing needs a lot of proof reading and editing especially in sentence structure and word choice. Plus, I know authors today are having issues with the use of ‘they’ as a pronoun of choice, but although Dixon tried, switching from it to their or they and meaning one child or every child or maybe multiple children - well, he was very inconsistent and all he did was create confusion for this reader.
And Dixon did not know his subject well. It sounded as if he was pulling information from sources without understanding that information. An example is in the first two paragraphs of Chapter Two. He mixed Gardener’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences with a different definition of intelligence and what he wrote was just wrong.
But to me the most egregious part of this book was the examples he gave as ways to help a child achieve resilience. Every example had to do with doing better in athletics or getting top marks in school. That was it. Apparently in Dixon’s world view, those two areas are the only ones where a child should be successful. Sports and grades. That’s it. Sheesh.
If you buy this book, use the references to begin your exploration of how to develop resilience in your children. Knowing about resilience and what developing it can do for your child can be a very effective and useful tool for any parent – just don’t start with this book.

This was a book I was very interested in because I am a first time mom to a daughter and so I wanted to learn how to raise my child to be resilient. I found this to be an interesting book, I can’t say for sure that these methods would work but I will make an attempt to try it out but either way I enjoyed reading.
