Great lessons to love our children like we should

Parenthood can be tough, but we need to love our children for who they are. Our children can make us or break us, but learning to build up our family relationships with heart goes all the difference and thats where the author makes a break away. Kids have a uniqueness that require self esteem and depending how we build them up, or accidently break them down, everything matters. Like the wonderful narrator says, we need to devote attention to create that actual face to face interactions without electronics in the way. Simply listening to our children allows us to know their real them, and when we show respect, we can see them soar. We need to follow these wonderful recommendations, and listen, without jumping to lecture. I loved this book, it's been very helpful, you will enjoy it too!
