This book is a wonderful addition to the books from the Robertson line, and I'm thrilled to report that the book is good old back to basics Christian parenting! The book is based on the 10 character traits that they belief are tantamount to raising kids, items like being strong, patient, kind, honest, self- controlled. The list is one that I think ALL parents will agree are not only important, but key moral aspects that we all want are children to have. I was in total agreement with the list that they came up with and agree that being strong and kind should be number 1 and 2.
Recently I have seen so many instances where kids are NOT strong, be it in belief in themselves, their belief in God, or belief that they can overcome obstacles. I'm not sure why kids have lost these concepts. maybe it is like Korie says, that parents have become so focused on 'helping their kids' that they don;t allow them to learn from mistakes, or even to make them to begin with. Without those opportunities, they can't learn to be strong, and take opportunities not as set backs, but to better themselves. they also need to see these traits modeled for them. And that makes perfect common sense.
This book is a parenting book, but it is also a common sense approach to marriage- about supporting one another and how working together to ensure that the 10 traits are not only shown, but modeled for your children, can also strengthen the relationship of husband and wife.It is a lovely book and one that I would greatly recommend for all families this holiday season!
Don't scream- I know it's another parenting book!
But this one is really about the WHOLE family, including Mom and Dad's relationship,
and very worthwhile to read!
Synopsis:
In her new book STRONG and KIND: And Other Important Character Traits Your Child Needs to Succeed, Korie Robertson - New York Times bestselling author, wife of Duck Commander® CEO Willie Robertson, star of A&E's Duck Dynasty, and mother of five - argues that developing good character in our children is the single most important thing we can do to help ensure they lead happy, healthy adult lives. Robertson explores key traits and what they truly look like in action, asks readers to select the two traits that they hope to see most in their children, and shares hands-on ways for nurturing strength of character. Written with her mother Chrys Howard and featuring stories and wisdom from husband Willie, STRONG and KIND cuts through the contemporary cacophony of parenting manuals to rediscover, unfold, and embrace the enduring wisdom that has guided the best parents for centuries.
