8 Simple Tools for Raising Great Kids
This felt like a book of reminders to do those things we often forget to do with/for our children because we get too busy with life: slow down, pay attention, remember that your word choices matter, look for the positive, and get to know your kids as individuals. We can all use some perspective and encouragement from time to time. Dr. Todd Cartmell gives real life examples, of the good and bad, in 5 short chapters - because parents get busy! Take a little time for yourself and read something that will benefit everyone in the house. You can even take an online assessment to see areas where you can make improvement.
