Synopsis

A parent’s guide to helping children feel good about themselves. A new larger format revised edition of the parenting classic

A child’s level of confidence is a key factor in forming their personality and confidence in later life. It is crucial for children to learn to love themselves – all adult issues of self-love, positive thinking and clear goals are equally as important for children and it is much easier to learn these attitudes when growing up. This book looks at how to provide a helpful environment for children to grow up with a sense of both inner and self confidence.

Lindenfield also stresses the need for learning about children’s health, because problems like bed-wetting and temper tantrums, may be confidence and attention issues. She also focuses on the stress levels of the parent – quelling your own stresses relaxes your child.

The book also includes important sections on giving your child space and freedom, plenty of stimulation and encouragement, communication and ground rules.

Review

By acknowledging that you will never be a perfect parent, simply because there is no such thing, and toning down the guilt trips that responsible parents find themselves on day after day, the grown-ups in the family can start taking better care of themselves and their offspring. In Confident Children these principles are discussed at length, and lead onto a book which is packed with practical and inspirational advice that is hard to ignore because it just makes such good sense.

From looking at how language and actions can boost self-esteem and helping your child learn the most basic but essential social skills, to teaching children to like themselves and develop into assertive children who can cope with whatever life throws at them, Confident Children is a classic one-stop manual for life which benefits adults and children alike. Written by an author with a passion and deep-rooted understanding of her subject, but who appreciates that every situation is different and should be treated as such, this non-preachy book deserves a place on the bookshelves of every family home. --Susan Harrison
