The most important life skill for children, March 15, 2008
This review is from: Teaching the Attraction Principle™ to Children: Practical Strategies for Parents and Teachers to Help Children Manifest a Better World (Hardcover)
I must admit, I was a little skeptical when I heard about bestselling books like The Secret. They seemed to claim some mysterious concept we all were missing. Whether called the "secret", the "law of attraction", or the "power of positive thinking", I agree with the basic idea: if we obsess about negative things we will find more negatives, and if we focus on positive things we will discover positives, even in a bad situation.
I've come to realize that this concept is not always so obvious or simple. In our world of criticism, shame, and blame, it's sometimes hard to see the positive solutions. It takes skill to step back from negativity and draw out the good. Some people do this well and some struggle mightily. This does not happen automatically. It must be modeled, taught, developed and practiced.
I think Thomas Haller and Chick Moorman have hit upon one of the most important life skills our children need. It's not just about building wealth or achieving "success," but about transforming what is into what is possible. It is essential we teach our children how to use this principle for good. And couldn't we all use some help learning how best to do that?
Chick Moorman and Thomas Haller have pulled together a straightforward, reality-based method to understand the Attraction Principle and teach it to children. Read this book, and you'll learn practical strategies to help our children create a better world.

Im thrilled I attracted this book into my life, March 6, 2008
This review is from: Teaching the Attraction Principle™ to Children: Practical Strategies for Parents and Teachers to Help Children Manifest a Better World (Hardcover)
I recently heard my nine-year-old daughter say, "I'm no good in math." After reading Teaching the Attraction Principle to Children, I knew what to do and how to respond. "Always?" I questioned. "Well, not always," she admitted. This exchange led to a 15 minute discussion on the power of belief and the thoughts we think about ourselves and why they are important. My daughter has begun to learn the importance of the Attraction Principle and how it works. I'm excited.
I found the examples of other parents and teachers motivational and heart-warming. It has created a hunger in me to teach more of this to my daughter. I am appreciative of the work done by Mr. Haller and Mr. Moorman. The have given me an easy to follow road map. They have done all parents a great service, especially me.

Teaching the Attraction Principle to Children, April 9, 2008
This review is from: Teaching the Attraction Principle™ to Children: Practical Strategies for Parents and Teachers to Help Children Manifest a Better World (Hardcover)
Chick Moorman is one of my favorite authors. His books - especially Spirit Whispers, Talk Sense to Yourself, Teacher Talk, and Where the Heart Is - have always spoken personally and deeply to me. I've always appreciated his straightforward language, his clear explanations, his great examples, and his ability to elucidate plainly otherwise complex ideas. With Thomas Haller he has done it again! Teaching the Attraction Principle to Children is a book that explains a complex and sometimes misunderstood belief system - that we co-create our reality by our powerful and sometimes unconscious expectations - in plain English. It is written in a way that even children can understand! But, of course, that is the purpose of the book - to help adults explain to children that they are not helpless victims in a world in which they have no control. Some may disagree with that the Attraction Principle is the most important principle to teach children. If you reframe that principle to suit your own deeply held beliefs - beliefs that may include a belief in God for instance - the book's power will be even more deeply meaningful to you. Buy it, read it, and explain these principles to the children in your life you love deeply. They will be enriched by these truths and by the plain talk that characterizes the work of Mr. Moorman and Mr. Haller.
