Strong and Kind

Raising Kids of Character

By: Korie Robertson, Chrys Howard, Willie Robertson

Narrated by: Korie Robertson

How do you instill godly virtues in kids who live in a "me-first" world? Encouraging you to model positive behavior for your kids, Korie Robertson identifies nine specific traits and provides biblical insights to help you train up your children in the way they should go.

As stars of the hit reality show "Duck Dynasty", Korie and Willie Robertson receive thousands of letters and messages from fans asking how they raised such good kids. According to Korie, it wasn’t easy. When Korie and Willie discussed the character traits they most wanted to pass on to their children, both agreed they wanted them to be strong to endure in this world and to be kindhearted people.

A straightforward approach to parenting, Strong and Kind helps parents identify the characteristics they want to see in their children and provides them with the tools for putting them in place. Korie Robertson identifies nine specific traits—strength, kindness, self-control, honesty, loyalty, humility, compassion, patience, and joy—that were the keys to her children’s upbringing. This practical guide to parenthood:

• Helps parents identify the character traits they want to see in their children, no matter what age they are
• Gives parents the tools to imprint those traits in their children’s lives
• Includes an 8-page color photo insert with Robertson family pictures
• Includes anecdotes from Korie’s husband, Duck Commander CEO Willie Robertson

Although there are no perfect parents or perfect children, Korie shares principles—based on biblical wisdom and time-tested practices—that will help you parent your own one-of-a-kind child.

great book for loving and caring parents

This book sets a great example for parents or grandparents who want to bring up responsible God-loving children

inspiring

I couldn't stop listening to this book! it has made me think of so many different things that I slack on as a parent and Christian but it also told me how to work on these things without being overwhelmed. such a good listen and I love she reads it herself with her husband. I found many answers to questions that I've had lately in life and some I didnt even know I needed. i love that many of the chapters had personal experiences with the lesson. god bless this family. I hope to read a new book soon from kory.

Pleasantly surprised

If you could sum up Strong and Kind in three words, what would they be?

This is so much more than a parenting book - it is a life skills book.

What about Korie Robertson and Willie Robertson ’s performance did you like?

I love their compassion and humility, mixed with humor and examples of life. They don't claim to know it all, and are so encouraging.

Any additional comments?

I have to admit, that I was not expecting very much, I thought it would be the same stuff you have already heard - but I felt this was very well thought out, and covered so many ideas, and gave personal examples of ways that worked and ways that were failures - yet you can hear their heart for God and the family! I will listen to the book again, there is so much to take in.

EXCELLENT!!!

Every Parent should have this book. Wonderful!
The story is read beautifully! Thank you Korie R for writing this book.

Great book!

Loved it! It is great to hear Korie Robertson talk of her family and especially the adoptions.

God bless you

Thank you for these blessed words that come from the love book of God and your own family experiences. I am a step mom and this helped me to become a better mom. Please pray for my son Joseph and his mom Dolores Veronica. May the creator God find a way for all of us to raise up Joseph strong and kind. Thank you

Kind regards,

Touching and Inspiring

I am a father of 3 children all under the age of 7. I’ve really been focusing on being an intentional dad and being my best for my family. This book really was a treat and fell right into my current aspirations of being all I can be. I loved willies additions in the end of the chapters and found it to be so soothing and entertaining on top of being fully of great content. Great job from a great family.

LOOOVE

So grateful for people that stop and take the time to share in their wisdom! Even though I have a teenager and a special needs son that’s 11, so much of this is how I’ve tried to raise them but it’s comforting, inspiring and just reaffirms the goals, morals, and values I hope to instill in these future adults! 🤍🙏🏻

Loved it

This was such a great book! Will definitely use this as a tool with parenting my children! Love this family so much!!

Great book on parenting.

I loved this book. I would highly recommend this book for new and experanced parents.
