Book Review:How to Raise Kids to be Responsible Adults
How To Raise Kids To Be Responsible Adults
In her ten chapter long book Anne talks about how one can train a kid from young to be conscious of the decisions he makes and to lead him down the part of independence. She introduces gradually the benefits of delayed gratitude, cultivating patience and being responsible for your own actions by equipping the child with the correct tools.
What I liked about the book.
It focuses on positive reinforcement and installing good virtues and habits from young. The opinion that kids shouldn’t focus on materialistic items and keeping up with the Jones is something that is strongly reinforced through the book. It is one to spoon feed your child but to strip your child of the ability to think and fend for himself is certainly a no-no and I agree with her.
What I disliked about the book
I found the book an easy read however it could do with some proper formatting as it was lacking a content page which I feel is a must in any book. I also felt that the book could do with more concrete examples or even case studies for a more detailed explanation. Anne could have given more practical examples on how to make your child learn about responsibility in different scenarios instead of briefly touch and go in each chapter.
It would be nice too if there were pictures added in the book as it would make it a more engaging read.
