This review is from: What Really Matters At Home (Paperback)

This book emphasizes the important attributes and values that we should all instill in our children. These character attributes can be achieved by any child, no matter their socio-economic background, their intelligence or their talents. These are the attributes that really develop self esteem.

There are a lot of strong messages being sent to children today, that they must be rich, popular, beautiful, sports stars or geniuses in order to have a happy life. This book gives the real secret to raising kids for a happy life.
