Publisher's summary

“The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.” (Denis Waitley)

You want the best for your child, it’s true, and you might think that “the best” is gifting them with material things that will only bring momentary happiness. For those of you who can’t afford to do so, you see yourselves as failing parents.

The truth is, what saves our children and what saves a family are the things that can’t be bought, but can only be taught, learned, and practiced.

The Positive Child was authored with every parent in mind - whether well-off or struggling, new or seasoned - for those who think they’ve got this parenting thing in the bag, and for those who have no idea what they’re doing.

Jessica Palmer, mother of four, wants to help you build a healthy, happy, positive home by starting with you. Your attitude, your ideals, your beliefs. It's not the lifestyle that you can or can’t afford for your child that will morph them into phenomenal adults, it’s how you live and what you practice in the home.

In this enlightening audiobook, Jessica shares a bucketload of sagacious tips and tricks on how to cultivate healthy, positive behaviors in kids, using guiding principles such as:

• Becoming your child’s best example
• Respecting your child’s space and life decisions
• Empowering instead of shaming
• Encouraging creativity and independent definitions
• Teaching emotional intelligence
• Setting high expectations
• Practicing family rituals
• Building meaningful relationships

Do you really want to give your child the best life? The life they truly deserve? The life that will shape them into determinedly successful adults? Then, this is where you start.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A must have for every parents! Especially those who are starting a family. It's a good reminder also to those who have kids and would want to change the mindset and have a good family relationship.

I really enjoyed it

I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook. I have three siblings and I wanted to learn a bit more about how I can help them in any way possible. Also I really like the narrator voice. Made me want to listen to the whole audiobook in just one sitting.

Great advice here

Probably wish my parents had this when they were raising me. There is a lot of good information here, for instance info about teaching your child crucial emotional intelligence skills.

Good advice

There are a lot of good words of wisdom for those who are raising a young family. The narrator does a really good job with the narration.

Good book. Sound parenting advice.

Positive Child Guidance is a practical guide to help teachers parents and child care workers understand, solve and prevent the everyday behavior problems of real children.The skills he presents are simple. We've been trying to implement his ideas in our home and have found some success.I have read many parenting books, and this is the best I have come across.For me this book has been incredibly helpful and eye-opening and has really helped the atmosphere in our home.

I love it!

I am a mother and this is a very interesting and complete book!!! 100% recommended!!

Great Listen!

Amazing techniques and ideas for children's happiness and positivity and easy to listen to, I really enjoyed listening, would recommend!

Practical parenting advice

Initially I have to say- I am almost always turned off by books that say “if you do this YOU WILL be happy - YOU WILL have happy kids etc” no formula works for all kids. There are outliers and special circumstances.... Also not all children thrive on being pushed- but some definitely need it! I have read many many parenting books and I’m grateful to be able to take bits and pieces from each to add to my knowledge and skill set as a parent.
That said I actually really liked this book. A lot of practical (and sometimes obvious) advice. Perhaps it is because I have 5 kids of my own and they are 17 and under so we have already adopted so many of these things into our own home. I think this would be an especially good book for new parents or parents with young children!
I really appreciated the posts about helping a child understand *how to earn money and why
*counting blessings and understanding how much they have
*importance of incorporating family traditions.

I received this audiobook for free in exchange for my honest review.

Beautiful audio book

7 year old: "I liked how he did the fake balloon. It's a good way to make bad feelings go away. Like when I was being bullied. That would have been a good thing to use "
