A Perfect Parenting Handbook

Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2014

Every parent's desire is that their child be well equipped to handle every aspect of life - especially the bad patches. Resilience is the key factor. But it is so easy to neglect the little building blocks that model a resilient adult from an early age.

Doctor G's book is an eye opener as to what we need to do and how to do it. The advice is so practical and requires little changes to lifestyles except a conscious decision to think through the consequences of our everyday behavior, actions and speech, and doing things differently to achieve results.

As a mother of five boys aged from almost two to nineteen,I enjoyed the book and rate its content's relevance as very high.It is an easy and short read,going straight to the point and expounding on benefits.Although written to cover a wide age range, it does one no harm to read the whole book so as to mentally prepare for the years ahead; or to go backwards and see where you went wrong and rectify. For those doing it right, you will discover wisdom in the small things we take for granted in life.

The book shouldn't be read once, but should be read through once in a while, refreshing the mind and evaluating results. It should be worthwhile to look at the other books in the series teaching Responsibility and Respect.

I received a free copy for an honest review from the author and remain eternally grateful for it.

Practical, fun advice for parents

Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2014

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. Teaching Resilience: Raising Kids Who Can Launch! is a practical, pocket-sized how-to book with 50 fun, realistic tips. As the author Doctor G. points out bad things happen to people. Resiliency is what people do after. As parents we want our children to thrive and succeed.

I enjoyed this book. It’s a fast-read with advice parents can relate to. This book teaches us the importance of letting our children figure things out themselves. As a parent of young adults, I wish this guide had been written years ago. I would have carried it in my purse and posted many of the guidelines on our fridge.

I liked how the tools outlined in the book are highlighted by age and category. It’s a quick reference and I highly recommend it. I’ll encourage friends and family with younger children to purchase it.

Helped my 4th Grade Daughter with School Drama

Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2014

This book really helped me with my middle school daughter. I was able to teach her some of the techniques that she was then able to put into action. I was so proud that she came up with her own way to handle the "drama" that seems inevitable at her age.
