Raising Everyday Heroes
Raising Everyday Heroes by Elisa Medhus, M.D. Seal of Approval Winner Fall '04! "Simple and yet wonderfully written, Dr. Medhus does a remarkable job of hooking and holding onto her readers attention. The key to her success is that each page is filled with practical strategies for helping children become confident and self-reliant. Testers felt empowered after reading it. They mentioned the author's warmth, wisdom, understanding and humor while giving this book exceptionally high marks. Her well crafted views and recommendations for teaching and motivating today's children to be tomorrow's self reliant adults make this book a must for all parents who wish to be effective in their efforts to raise good, strong and ultimately successful children." NPC Written for parents, teachers, counselors, and everyone else involved with raising children, this book emphasizes the need for kids to learn how to make smart decisions in the face of today’s permissive culture and strong peer pressure. Many parents go to great lengths to protect their children from dangerous influences, boredom, want, and even the consequences of the kids’ own choices, but Elisa Medhus — winning author of the 2002 Parent's Choice Award and National Parenting Publication Award — believes this doesn’t allow kids to develop the skills they need to be successful adults. She tells readers how to give their children opportunities to overcome adversity while still in a loving family environment, so they can develop internal wisdom, creative problem-solving skills, and basic common sense. Raising Everyday Heroes offers easy-to-implement techniques for raising responsible, self-reliant children.
