Description
What do children really want their parents to know, and what do children need to grow into thriving adults? Most parents have a deep desire to do what's best for their children, but unfortunately kids don't come with instruction manuals. Diana Loomans and her daughter, Julia Godoy, are here to help. They offer twelve powerful keys to raising a happy, responsible, and fulfilled child, including:
Teach by example
Allow room to grow and make mistakes
Give acknowledgment and show appreciation
Use positive discipline with respect
Based on a popular poem co-written by this mother-and-daughter team, this book is filled with inspiring stories, ideas, and exercises to use with children of all ages. The authors will help you focus on what's most important, resulting in a parent-child relationship filled with mutual respect and love.
