Publisher's summary

Is your child dealing with self-doubt, low self-esteem, or social anxiety? Are they beaten down by the slightest failure? Do they give up easily? Then, read on...

Our confidence is what gets us through life. It’s our helmets, life jackets, seatbelts, and mouthguards. Seeing your child battle with low self-esteem and self-doubt is not easy, and your first inclination might be to lock them in a bubble and shield them from the harsh realities of life. But taking that approach will undoubtedly do them more harm than good.

In this remarkable guide The Confident Child, Jessica Palmer, mother of four, will take you through a step-by-step process of building your child’s confidence. With two collegians, two high schoolers, and four different personalities, Palmer has had to practice unique methods for building confidence in each individual child.

This is an extraordinary learning audible for us

This audio book extraordinary cause all of this audio books tips are really helpful. I would suggest this audio book to anyone.

Fantastic, motivating, encouraging, thoughtful

Many takeaways that I will use to navigate as a mom. Having 2 different children with completely different personalities has its challenges.

Fantastic book!

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

As with the other book by this author/narrator duo, I really wish I would have found books like this when my son was a baby. I think it would have been very helpful in equipping my wife and I to handle things better with our son. I found a lot of this book insightful and interesting. The section that I think I got the most from is the section on emotional intelligence. EQ and expressing my emotions are things that I have struggled with myself and often feel lost and powerless when my son is experiencing strong emotions. The explanations and suggestions were structured in a way that makes this whole subject a bit more digestible and I feel a little better equipped to better help my son.

The narration is well done. I didn't notice any real problems with the audio, but I feel I got much more out of the PDF than I did from listening.

Good advice

The author provides a lot of strategies that she has used in raising her family to help them with confidence. These are good examples that can be applied to a myriad of situations. Good narrator, too.

A must-have for every parent

Parenting is the hardest job on earth, we do not know everything, and we do not want our kids to be our guinea pig in raising confident children. This book is a must-have for every parent. A quick tool that builds communication with our children face-to-face and through technology to have an open connecting relationship.

Wonderful audio book

This is a great audio book. As a middle school teacher, and mother of a daughter - I cannot emphasize how important self-confidence is for girls.

With great power comes great responsibility

I am thrilled and invigorated with the knowledge I downloaded into my ears from this book. Hahah. I highly recommend that you give this book a listen if you have kids because this will be one of the most important investments you make into your child's life. Do not take this lightly. You have the power to alter the course of their life with the information included in this audiobook. With great power comes great responsibility. Take care and make sure to buy this book if not for you then for them.

Very grateful to have found this book!

The Confident Child book has a lot of detail about different confidence issues in children,as well as more general confidence issues can have.The author uses 12 Steps to Boost Your Child's Confidence and giving real life examples of children, examples of what the child's parents could do to help the child articulate the problem they're having and work through it. Jessica Palmer also provides a lot of helpful scenarios in this book to clear our concept about kids confident issue.This is by far and away one of the best books I've read in a long time. Highly recommend it for any types of parents.

Loving this book!

From the first chapter on this book has held a mirror to me in ways that are so uncomfortable, but insightful. Change is very rarely comfortable, so I’m pleased in a way to sit with my discomfort knowing it means there is change taking place.

I know I struggle with confidence issues and Jessica addresses that in Chapter 1. I’m excited about what I’m learning from this book and all of the ways I can apply this knowledge to not only help my children be more confident and independent, but also improve my relationship with them. I feel like there is so much great information here to use as a foundation for my relationship with my children.

The narration feels a little forced, or maybe academic is a better way to describe it. Once I got used to it though it was easier to focus on what was being said, and not the way it was being said. I’m pretty picky about narrators, but overall it’s good.

Thank you Jessica for putting this wonderful content into a book!

This audible payed an extremely supportive role
