Customer Reviews

Great reference for parenting and teaching.

A good book that can be read over and over again. It gives insight on how a person develops. It explains the importance of social skills, family involvement, and community awareness on the growth of a child into adulthood and as a member of society.

a very interesting read ....

The book starts with a somewhat surprising beginning which grabbed my attention early. After that, the first couple of chapters talk about the importance of confidence and how it can be eroded over time. After Chapter 3, the book picks up and gives some interesting insight into building confidence. There were some religious references that I could do without. Other then that this book is a must read if you have children.

Love Isn't Enough

We can love our children, we can raise them the best way we know how but have we ever thought of the impact of giving them self-esteem? I got this book hoping for some insight on parenting my 2 small children and I thought it was excellent. The entire time, though, I recalled my own childhood and how although my parents did love me, I never had self-esteem and my choices later in life shout out this fact. My parents did the best they could but I intend on taking the advice in this book and giving my children the biggest gift of all~ the ability to love themselves despite their weaknesses and flaws! The life issues and challenges they face will be easier to tackle if they believe in themselves!

Useful advises to change forever our children's personality.

Excelent book, well organized. Useful for everyone that has a real interest to help their children during the best age they can be helped. More than 10 very valuable hints that you can try immediately with your children.
