Review

I love the mix of research and actionable tips in Gratitude & Kindness. As a new parent, it is my mission to raise our son in an environment of kindness to ensure his success and happiness in life. Having done quite a bit of research myself in this arena, I realize how important it is to set good examples at an early age and their engaging anecdotes combined with practical exercises makes for a great read and good set of guidelines for all parents. --David Gaz, Director of the Film, Kindness Is Contagious

Here's a book you'll be dying to hand out to all the helicopter parents at the playground. Vancouver's Dr. Carla Fry and Dr. Lisa Ferrari have published a wake-up call to the epidemic of entitle-mania; in the new generation of kids. With practical solutions and specific examples (stop paying your kid $50 to wash the car!) the Doctors are direct and to the point about how giving in to your kids every whim is short term gain for long term pain. They teach that there is a positive feedback loop between kindness and happiness, and that grateful children are kind children, and we can all be happy about that. --Sarah Bancroft, editor-in-chief of VitaminDaily.com,and VitaminDailyKids.com
