How to Build Rock Solid Kids

Summary: Rock Solid Advice
Review: This book is not just about building rock solid kids, but about building rock solid relationships with them. So many books talk at you, offering advice that is difficult to remember and impossible to follow. Keith Hafner's interactive format is stunningly different, and I think that by the end of the book most parents will feel that they have grown right along with their children. Also, I think most parents will feel comforted and inspired by the common-sense nature of the book and the advice it offers. Wise, unpretentious, and engaging.

Summary: An applicable tool for todays kids!
Review: What a great book! Well written, easy to follow and applicable to children of all ages. Mr. Hafner appears to have done his homework. The twelve "foundation stones" or areas Mr. Hafner covers are critical to the sound development of children. The exercises are great tools to help parents prepare their children for a well balnced life of value. An easy read with sound principles that will pay huge dividends for children and parents alike.

I found the exercises outlined at the end of each chapter extremely valuable. In going through the exercises you get to know your child and understand him/her better. This was a really neat surprise for me. As a parent I feel that this is probably an area that is often overlooked in our child rearing. This book makes getting to know how your child thinks and what they think about simple. The exercises help prepare kids, in a simple, and understandable way, for life. Whether that is going to grade school soon, high school and work later or college in the future.

It's never too late to start doing a great job as a parent and this book makes it possible. If you aren't sure exactly how to raise descent, responsible, clear thinking kids than this is a great resource. If you already think you know how, I would recommend the book anyway becuase when it comes to raising kids you don't want to leave things to chance and Mr. Hafner pretty much covers all the bases. Well done!
