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.

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 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.

Great book!

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