This book is written by two teachers with a combined 60 years of experience. They obviously care about kids, are passionate about the subject, and value the power of parents in their kids' lives. They address all the character qualities and virtues that parents, teachers, youth workers,and society value; things like: empathy, bravery, dependability, a good work ethic, generosity, being a good friend, compassion, and so on. What I really like is the tone of encouragement and respect toward parents. They know how vital a parent's role is in the development of each child. They use a positive tone to motivate parents toward the daunting task of parenting kids' in today's world. They give specific directives, real-world examples, and how-to instructions that any parent could put into practice to some degree.Here are a few of my favorite quotes from the book:~ "Often some simple and consistent help and guidance from you (parent) can be the answer to your child's success."~ "Everyone is capable of so much, as long as they have someone who believes in them and helps to develop the inner confidence they need to really achieve."~ "...what matters most is the belief that you instill in your child through your own words and actions. By developing this belief, you're giving them the best gift you could imagine and that is the gift of confidence."I think this book will be of great help to any parent. If parents puts the content of this book into practice, its influence will be of great help to society and our world. It's also an enjoyable read.Connie Neal, author of many books found at www.amazon.com/author/connieneal
