Synopsis
Experience the best-selling book that was born when an experienced youth mentor and a distinguished elementary school teacher teamed up to help children dramatically empower their character, confidence, and self-esteem.
The book matches proven and effective positive life-empowering statements with the insertion of pictures of each individual child to match each set of ideas.
This unique mix of foundational statements and self-reflective imagery creates a potent and positive boost to reinforce in children that life can be lived positively and abundantly for their entire lifetime.
For instance, if the statement says "I am joyful," the child or adult can attach a picture on that page of the child with a joyful expression to reinforce and mirror the each statement. Existing pictures can be used, or even more fun can be had taking new pictures just for this book.
The book is not designed to create a pompous sense of inflated self-confidence, but rather a universally recognized mix of beneficial character traits and healthy outlooks about life. The science and psychology behind the book is designed to aid in the positive development of children's attitudes and beliefs about themselves and the world—specifically to build a healthy sense of confidence, character, and self-esteem. Developing these traits early in life can dramatically increase a child's likelihood of growing up well adjusted for greater contentment and success.
At the end of the book are prompts for reflection, which help children to consider how to further apply these ideas in everyday life. These reflection prompts are an excellent opportunity for adults and children to discuss these ideas in action. Teaching Kids Life is Good is a great way for parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, mentors, teachers or guardians to spend quality time with children doing something positive and fun that will stick with them for a lifetime.
