Timeless, Fantastic and Fresh Ideas,

This review is from: 100 Ways to Build Self-Esteem and Teach Values (Loomans, Diane) (Paperback)
I have been thoroughly enjoying this book! The pull-out quotes from Loomans and others are wonderful and I keep having to run and write them down to share! Then there's the wonderful blend of how-to, story-telling, and research-sharing used to educate the reader on ways to build self-esteem and teach values. Diane and her sister (I think) write some wonderful and powerful stories about their experiences as children and as parents. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a heart-centered yet intellectual approach to growing with their children.

My heart melted!,

This review is from: 100 Ways to Build Self-Esteem and Teach Values (Loomans, Diane) (Paperback)
I had been researching books online about raising kids with good self-esteem, but not getting warm fuzzies and finding what I was looking for. I happened to see this book at my local Borders in the toddler section, while I was actually looking for potty training books. I grabbed this one because I liked the title - straight forward, you know there are actual ideas in it, etc. Wow! I flipped to a few random pages here and there, finding my heart melting at some of the wonderful suggestions in this book that are so unbelievably simple, yet leave such a profound feeling of well-being! I was sad to put it back on the shelf, but knew it would be less expensive here at amazon.com! Easy to read style, quick ideas to get the self-esteem ball rolling, neat suggestions. All in all, I cannot wait to get mine and raise my little girl with a high self-esteem!!! The author also writes a few other books that you might be interested in, including a children's book called "The Lovables in the Kingdom of Self-Esteem". Cute, rhymes, and the repetitive use of good self-esteem phrases (i.e. "I am lovable!") could also be a great foundation for building self-esteem in younger kids.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: 100 Ways to Build Self-Esteem and Teach Values (Loomans, Diane) (Paperback)
I can't believe no one has reviewed this book yet. I've had it for years, and often keep it bedside. It has great ideas for unique games of building self esteem and self reliance in children. I recommend it highly for parents of children of all ages.
