Growing Happy Kids - How to Foster Inner Confidence, Success, and Happiness

Zusatztext I wanted to get this book because I am always looking for ideas on the ways I can prepare my children to deal with life! but I learned a lot about how I deal with life in the process.  It's a very enlightening read. . . . What really resonated with me about this book is that so much of it was about perspective and self talk.  The way we perceive and talk about the world and our lives affects us on so many levels! good or bad.  What this book is about is teaching our children to have a deep rooted belief of their own awesomeness! and to let that bloom into real! lasting confidence and a positive worldview.  And the thing I love! love! LOVED the most about this book is that after talking about all of this! Healy ends the book with some real life examples of things that we can do with our children to help them reach these goals.  She gives us examples of exercises! songs! and mantras (and more!) that we can use in every day life to strengthen the five building blocks.  And while Healy is Buddhist and draws heavily from that belief system! these examples are adaptable to whatever belief system or style of parenting suits your family best.  In fact! throughout the book she makes an effort to make these ideas available to people across all spiritual traditions… or even those who have a lack thereof. . . .  --Leah Silverman/ NetGalley.com Informationen zum Autor Maureen Healy is a child development and parenting expert with twenty years of experience fostering children's holistic health.
