Publisher's summary

What are the strengths of your children? What are their weaknesses? Are they responsible, or are they dependable? What would they do in a situation if...?

If you haven’t asked yourself these questions about your child before, then it is time to start before it’s too late.

Education is important, but character even more so. And it starts in the home.

Children are a direct reflection of their upbringing. How they handle themselves, unexpected problems, setbacks, rejection, or the harsh reality of the world all depends on how and what they were taught. It’s a big but important task, and you may even feel unqualified for the job, but this navigational guide is all you will ever need.

In How Children Succeed, Rachel Burgess offers a 12-step guide on how to raise your children as responsible adults of character and resilience. A mother of three, Rachel not only advises from a place of experience, but from confidence in the results of her daily-tested strategies.

Here’s a peek at some of the topics touched on:

• Teaching responsibility through chores
• Responding emotionally to failure
• Knowing the benefits of high expectation
• Fostering social skills
• Nurturing commitment to learning daily
• Praising kids when they do well
• Promoting healthy choices
• Learning the importance of problem-solving skills
• Understanding the relevance of confidence - physically, emotionally, and intellectually
• Raising an Entrepreneur

Whether you are a new parent, a seasoned parent, a single parent, or a double unit, How Children Succeed is for you. We can never “know enough” when it comes to raising our kids - it takes a village. As the world evolves at such a rapid pace, so do our kids.

Insightful

Extremely bold and insightful book where I learn ways and tips to help my two daughters succeed in their personal and academic lives and in the future I hope they will be balanced and content human beings.

Great tips for new parents

As a parent, this book intrigued me. I'm always looking for new tips. Although this book represents a woman's point of view, I found that these tips also apply to dads. It is highly recommended, especially for new parents. I will check out other books from this author. I received this book for free in exchange for my unbiased review.

Parenting guide

This book talks about many important topics in raising children. Raising children is not the easiest task a person can go through, but it is well worth doing it the right way. But what is the right way? Every child is different and has different needs. This book is a good guide on what not to do and gives different examples on how parents can deal with their children in certain situations. There is a solution/option for every type of child out there.

The narration isn't perfect but she has a nice voice to listen to.

Clear and straightforward
