Chicken Soup for the Soul: Think Positive for Kids Book Review
There is no harder job in the world than being a parent yet nothing is more rewarding. There are no manuals or how to's as to being the best parent out there.

Chicken Soup for the Soul: Think Positive for Kids has "101 Stories about Good Decisions, Self-Esteem, and Positive Thinking. Give a child gifts that will last a lifetime — self-esteem, tolerance, values, and inner strength. The values that children learn today will stay with them for the rest of their lives. This collection gives kids positive role models to follow in its 101 stories about doing the right thing and making healthy choices."
I appreciate the fact that this book teaches my children the importance of not only self respect but respect for others and their differences. It also gives children real life situations so they know we are not just preaching on the subject. The stories are instances which the kids can understand without having to expose them to today's tragedies which are causes of these types of

None of us are perfect, so don't even try
