"The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence." - Denis Waitley
You want the best for your child, it's true, and you might think "the best" is gifting them with material things that will only bring momentary happiness. For those of you who can't afford to do so, you see yourselves as failing parents.
The truth is, what saves our children, what saves a family, are the things that can't be bought, but can only be taught, learned, and practiced.
The Positive Child was written with every parent in mind, whether well-off or struggling, new or seasoned, for those who think they've got this parenting thing in the bag, and for those who have no idea what they're doing.
Jessica Palmer, mother of four, wants to help you build a healthy, happy, positive home, by starting with you. Your attitude, your ideals, your beliefs. It is not the lifestyle that you can or can't afford for your child that will morph them into phenomenal adults, it's how you live and what you practice in the home.
In this eye-opening guide, Jessica shares a bucketload of sagacious tips and tricks on how to cultivate healthy, positive behaviors in kids, using guiding principles such as:
- Becoming your child's best example
- Respecting your child's space and life decisions
- Empowering instead of shaming
- Encouraging creativity and independent definitions
- Teaching emotional intelligence
- Setting high expectations
- Practicing family rituals
- Building meaningful relationships
After raising four happy, healthy, ambitious kids, Jessica is more than confident in her methods for fostering positive, vibrant children. In The Positive Child, you will find a range of workable, efficient, and adaptable strategies based on values, moralities, and ethics.
Do you really want to give your child the best life? The life they truly deserve? The life that will shape them into determinedly successful adults?
Then this is where you start.
