Summary: Great inspiration for little affectionate acts.
Review: As parents, we often hear that it's important to bolster a child's self-esteem. But how? And how is "self-esteem" different from "self-confidence" (or, in the extemes, "arrogance")?The best way I've seen it described is: "A child gains self-esteem when they feel valued by the important people in their lives." And I think the best way to make a child feel valued is to let them know that you're constantly thinking of them in an affectionate way. And that's what this book is about. It's full of ideas - each one of them small and easy to implement - that show them just that. I was very impressed by the variety of the ideas and how on-target they are. And once you've done enough of them you really develop your own instict for how to generate new ideas.

Summary: Suggestions that really will make your child feel special
Review: If you try the suggestions in this book, not only will your child feel special, but you will too. When doing the activities in the book, you will build a closer relationship with your child. These activities remind you of how important it is to spend time with your child and how important it is to recognize your child's individuality. These activities also bring out the creativity and fun in your child. Most of the activities are hands-on...like making things together. Some are about doing things outside, and others are about communicating together. All of them are really great.
