Cupcake Theory Book cover

The Cupcake Theory: The secret ingredient to being happy in your relationships by Clara Lee . Written by a Korean American Author the book is aimed at teen girls to educated them about romantic relationships and self worth.

The 64 page book talks about the creating relationships is like baking of cupcakes

Like baking a cupcake there are certain main ingredients which are needed to create a good relationship.

The Cupcake theory is based on four main principles which empowers young girls to be in charge of their own lives and relationships which they may enter into. As a girl you are the cupcake while your partner is the frosting on the cupcake.

My thoughts

I found this a short read with lovely illustrated pictures of the various different types of cupcakes. Clara uses different cupcakes to reflect different type of personality which teenage girls can easily identify with. Ie: The attractive partner or the fun partner. Many a time with teenage love the girl loses her identity as she places more emphasis on her partner then herself. In the process she may not be acknowledging her self worth and be responsible for her own happiness. The book is certainly a great reminder for teenage girls.

Quiet Kids- Helping Your Introverted Child Thrive in an Extroverted World

Dominique Book Review, Parenting and Kids

Quiet Kids book cover

Quiet Kids: Help Your Introverted Child Succeed in an Extroverted World by Christine Fonseca is a four part book which address the differences between introverted and extroverted kids, introverted kids at home, at school and at play.

Understanding your temperament is crucial in knowing how you function and what are your stimuli. Once you know your own temperament you will be able to diagnose the temperament of the members of your family and create an environment which is able to accommodate both introverts and extroverts if you happen to have a mixture in your home.

To be effective in parenting you need to first know your child and his temperament and how the household environment impacts the behavioral reaction of children.

There are worksheets within each chapter for the reader or the child to fill in to get a better assessment of the child’s character traits. Tip sheets with short summaries of each section make it easy for one to reflect on the main points of each chapter.

These notes are in the form of pointers to parents and teachers to make the introverted child more comfortable in their setting and also teach them the relevant skills to survive in society.

My thoughts

It was interesting to learn that more introverts were perfectionist and are very afraid of failure. They would rather give up then suffer the thought that they will fail. They get stressed up very easily and can get very emotional. Having an introvert child myself I now understand better why he acts up at time and behaves in certain ways. I will be putting the tips learned in this book to teach him how to cope with the obstacles that he is facing better.
