Publisher's summary

"It's never been more important to teach your children well. What America needs today are parents who don't just say they value these virtues but who live them and passionately and boldly teach them to their children. It's up to me and you and every parent in America to make the necessary changes to give our children the opportunity to change the world. We do that by instilling good character traits in them so that they will be capable of being the adults our world needs." (Korie Robertson)

Many parents want to see positive character traits in their children but wonder how to instill them. As stars of the hit reality TV show Duck Dynasty, Korie and Willie Robertson receive loads of letters and messages from fans asking how they've raised such good kids. As they will tell you, "It isn't always easy, but raising kids with good character is possible".

A straightforward, practical approach to parenting, Strong and Kind helps you identify the character traits you want to see in your children and gives you the tools for putting them in place. Besides strength and kindness, other character traits include:

• Self-control
• Honesty
• Compassion
• Patience
• Joyfulness
• Loyalty
• Humility

By modeling positive traits with confidence, consistency, creativity, and unity and in truth and love, you can increase the chances of your kids catching on. At the end of the day, the Duck Dynasty stars say the most important thing you can do for your children is what they do at the end of every episode: Hand them over to God in prayer.

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.

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,

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 on parenting.

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

Basics for raising good children

Great facts about the simple truths and ways to raise good, strong and responsible children. The Robertson are funny too!

Something I needed to hear

I loved this book. I love all of the Roberston books. I needed to hear about being Intentional. I recommend this for any parent.

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.
