"Helping Your Kids..." is Down-to-earth Wisdom from Above!,
By L. Haimbaugh (Columbia, South Carolina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Helping Your Kids Make Good Choices: Guiding Your Kids in a World Full of Options. Encouraging Parents of All Ages and Stages. (Paperback)
Kendra Smiley's "Helping Your Kids Make Good Choices" is insightful and full of wisdom, but also enjoyable and easy to read. Her real life examples and Bible stories brought to life are extremely helpful and often amusing. The book not only gives the tools to help your kids make good choices, but the surprise was that it helped me think about my OWN decisions as well. I used to think that if you were a Christian your kids would turn out fine; but I have too many Christian friends whose kids are now ages 16 - 21 and are making bad life-changing choices. If this can happen in good Christian families, then we need every tool available to help avoid it. Kendra's book is such a tool!!!!! This is an excellent book for parents and parents-to-be.

Helping Your Kids Make Good Choices,
By A Customer
This review is from: Helping Your Kids Make Good Choices: Guiding Your Kids in a World Full of Options. Encouraging Parents of All Ages and Stages. (Paperback)
I found this book to be very beneficial as two of our children are in school and are now experiencing social pressures. (Even at second grade and kindergarten!!) Many of the book's points are so practical and easy to incorporate into daily decision making. The fact that the basis for the book is taken from the Bible is all the more important for our family as we try to make scripture and christian values a part of our daily life. I would recommend this book to anyone with children or anyone considering a family. Thank you Kendra!!

Helping Your Kids Make Good Choices,
By A Customer
This review is from: Helping Your Kids Make Good Choices: Guiding Your Kids in a World Full of Options. Encouraging Parents of All Ages and Stages. (Paperback)
As a Christian Mom I am faced every day with the task of helping our two kids make choices. I often forget to guide them through the process with a Biblical perspective. Kendra's book was right on track with very real examples. Many of her examples hit home and made me realize how much more I can do when it comes to helping my kids make choices. The book was great; I enjoyed Kendra's style and sense of humor. This was just what I needed to read!
