Book description
How to raise confident, resilient kids!Kids need strong, confident
leadership ... from their parents. That's quite a challenge these days,
as they grow up at the speed of light and parents are unsure of their
place in the lives of their children. And today's kids live with
pressures that previous generations didn't have to face. They grow up
with fewer siblings, which mean parents focus their attention more
sharply on them. No wonder so many children today are anxious and
risk-adverse. But it doesn't have to be this way! In this easy-to-read,

to be confident family leaders, able to develop real character and
