With refreshing honesty rooted in tried-and-true real life, John and Susan Yates share practical ways in which parents and children can grow together while parents teach and model the eight crucial elements of Christian character: integrity, faith, self-discipline, joy, compassion, courage, a teachable spirit and a servant's heart.
This book emphasizes the important attributes and values that we should all instill in our children. These character attributes can be achieved by any child, no matter their socio-economic background, their intelligence or their talents. These are the attributes that really develop self esteem. There are a lot of strong messages being sent to children today, that they must be rich, popular, beautiful, sports stars or geniuses in order to have a happy life. This book gives the real secret to raising kids for a happy life.
