I genuinely enjoyed reading this book, however, I do think the information can be condensed to one chapter--maybe because I do not plan to work with children as my primary population; however, I love how the author emphasized nonverbal behavior as imperative in strengthening and building friendships for the school-aged child, which is very applicable to the adult as well. Proximity, face expression, posture, vocal tone, and eye-contact while uplifting others through pinpointing their strengths and efforts seem to speak volumes on one's openness and attitude to connecting with others successfully.

A limitation I find is the lack of cultural implication as this creates nuances in this approach with working with students.
