Raising Confident Kids

by Robert G. Barnes

Too often parents shuffle their kids off to lessons and activities, hoping too raise their children's self-esteem through performance. But Raising Confident Kids shows that self-image is formed not by what kids do, but where they the family. Noted family therapist Robert Barnes shows parents how to build a strong family and raise confident kids by - 'dating' their children - creating family traditions - setting rules and sticking to them - calling family meetings - assigning daily chores -- In addition, he shows how the strongest self-images are based on a relationship with Christ. With a self-image based on Christ and strengthened by the family, a child will be less likely to be vulnerable to the negative influence of peers. Using scriptural guidelines and an abundance of common sense and counseling experience, Barnes resolves the common conflicts between parents and children and establishes the ground work for raising happy, confident kids.

Very good book for parents to learn the basic steps to raising confident children. Very informational and highlights how as parents we are who they look up to, and how we can be their best discipliners and supporters at the same time.

As a mom of boys I like to read this book every so often just to see how I am doing as a parent and what useful tips I can implement into our lives to raise them to be the best versions of themselves.
