Editorial Reviews
Review
As warm and thoughtful as chicken soup, these messages for parents and educators are beautifully wrought and deeply affecting. They create an enduring image of how young people grow to become leaders. Bill Clinton's mother may have read a guide like this while the future president of the United States was growing up. A gift that few ever receive, everyone who works with teens and children should have a copy. --Independent Review Quarterly
The encouraging environment for a child is not his apartment building, neighborhood, house or school building, but the interpersonal environment that, in Dr. Doyle's words, aspires to inspire. Obviously, leadership skills can't be demanded or commanded. They are developed by the actions offered to teenagers by adults in the environment. It's not what adults say, but how they respond. --Foster Cline, M.D.

A Motivating Read for Motivating Kids and Teens,
By Honest Reader (Denver, CO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: When Kids Know Why They Try! (Perfect Paperback)
I've read the book and seen the author's workshops. This is a man who has been there, and done that. When Kids Know Why, They Try only reveals part of the story. In his workshops, Dr. Doyle explains the next step beyond helping young people discover their life purpose, find meaning and direction. He shows how to hook a life calling to a trend and make money in zones of opportunity. For parents and teachers looking for ways to motivate their students to do their best, I highly recommend they pick up a copy of this book along with Foster Cline's Parenting with Love and Logic. When you combine the two readings, you are well on the way to developing our future leaders.

Having worked with Dr. Doyle and seen his interection with kids first hand, I can genuinly state that his approach is successful and powerful. His ability to connect and work with children in an effective manner is evident to me in my experience with him as a supervisor.

This review is from: When Kids Know Why They Try! (Perfect Paperback)
I have 10 and 13 year old boys, and although they are good boys, they are both very strong minded as well. We really wanted to read on on how to keep them "on the right track" for the next few years, and this book gave us great, straightforward ideas on how to do that.
