"I love the thought that empathy is bound to resiliency. This book has made me be more thoughtful in my parenting, but it's especially given me ideas to direct that thoughtfulness. Their approach is habit-changing. I'm even suggesting some of these concepts to my mother, whose baby just started college."
"I've enjoyed the first chapter. I like that it isn't black and white "this is a step by step way to raise YOUR child" but more, these are the general principles that parents with resilient children have in common. Here are some ideas to implement these, but each child is an individual. I think it's dangerous to take any parenting book as the Gospel Truth, but this book definitely has great ideas and calls for parents to be aware of how they communicate, what they really are communicating, and to have empathy for their child. Seriously, how often do children get punished for making a mistake, but as adults we expect people to be understanding with us when we make mistakes."
"I really wish I enjoyed reading these types of books more. This was hard for me to get through. But there were definite chapters that really applied to my children, so for that reason, I'm glad I read it. What I don't understand is why do self-help books have to be so darn long? Just tell me how to make it all better!"
"I think I agreed with everything that was said in this book. The authors' premise is that we should focus on "strengthening" our children rather than "fixing" them. I especially like what they said about empathy-- both about having it as parents and teaching it to our children. I'd highly recommend this book, and I have a copy if anyone would like to borrow it."
