We all know how to be great parents, right? That's why our kids are coming out perfectly and they never have any trouble. Oh, wait...
8 Simple Tools for Raising Great Kids
by Dr. Todd Cartmell
Moody Publishers
January 2015
The title says 8 tools, but in reality the author includes 40 tools in 8 categories. Each of the 40 small chapters is about 3 pages long, many starting with an anecdote from counseling children or his own life and including simple ideas for overcoming the challenge.
In fact, my favorite parts of this book were the stories from his counseling. Listening to children say things that no parent would ever want to hear of themselves is motivating and convicting. Nearly every chapter I found something I should do better.
For that reason and others I highly recommend this ready to read and digest book.
