Summary: Thank [goodness]!
Review: "Be The Best You Can Be" is brilliantly written. It is a handy guide for confident living, applicable for any age. Included are practical tips for positive behavior patterns and social skills. It also gives oppotunity for interaction and interesting activities. This book should be on your "Must Have List." Thelma Giffhorn Educator and Lecturer

Summary: "The Best..." Made Me Believe in ME!
Review: An insecure "tomboy" as a pre-teen, I (thankfully)had the good fortune to not only read "Be The Best You Can Be," but be taught by Author Robin Thompson. I learned all that I know about about etiquette from her book and personal instruction. This has helped me come out of my shell & become poised and full of grace. Now an adult, I continually refer back to the book to refresh my memory on certain topics. Most recently I brushed up on "Traveling Tips," "Manners in Public," "Image Makers" and "Image Breakers."

I am a mentor to many children and teenagers (a good habit I acquired from Robin) and have given the book to each of them as Birthday, Christmas and Graduation gifts.

The writing is easy to read and to the point. The quizes within each chapter are highly beneficial because they allow the reader to explore their opinions and decide for themselves what skills they need to work on (without feeling like their parent is "nagging at them to sit up straight and act like a grown-up").

If every child read this book, our world would be a much better place. Our schools should teach this as "Character Education."

Over all, the book is wonderful.

Review: Dear Robin,

Thank you so much for such a wonderful book. I use your book to teach charm and etiquette to the young people that are part of my youth self-improvement programs. They find it easy to follow and they refer back to it often. It certainly made my life easy as I put together my program.

Thank you so much for your personal assistance. You never fail to come through when I need help or a suggestion.

Thanks again and keep up the good work.

Sincerely
Henryette Neal

Review: I am a Lawyer who owns a law firm.
I had purchased the book "Be the best you can be" for my grandchildren.
Well, Ms. Thompson, my hat goes off to you.
Because of this book, one of my grandchildren was successful in a job interview and is now employed part time while she attends university.
Another grandchild has developed her confidence level as well as her self esteem.
You are wonderous! Thank you for publishing the information that alot of parents have neglected to teach.
Best wishes Ms. Thompson!

Review: I ordered this book to share with my 4 grandchildren;2 fourteen year olds, 1 eleven year old and a ten year old. My eleven year old granddaughter and I are reading it together. I am so very pleased with the content and the style of writing - very interesting for a young one. Robin Thompson covers so much, from nurturing self-esteem, consideration of others to appropriate table manners, etc. I, too am enjoying it immensely. I choose to give this book a 5 star rating.
