Average Ratings:
A renowned social psychologist's clear-cut, thoughtful, and practical strategy for parents who want to promote self-confidence in their child. Raising confident, motivated, and caring children is a parent's greatest challenge. Drawing on her own extensive research on children and parents, Terri Apter has created a guide based on "emotional coaching"—learning to respond appropriately to a child's feelings—that helps parents raise children to solve problems, to be socially active and understand others, and to manage emotions, all of which are crucial to developing confidence and functioning successfully in society. Hugely insightful, reassuring, and accessible, The Confident Child is a truly necessary parenting guide. Winner of The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International Educator's Award.

Summary: About the excerpt
Comment: I must qualify this commentary - I have not read this book. I was, however, interested in purchasing it. Unfortunately, I've seen too many books that use too many pages to describe the issue they are trying to address, and not enough pages describing techniques and methods to help where the help is desired. I don't need to know that I want to develop confidence in my child, I already know that! So it is unfortunate that the chosen excerpt only talks about the desire every parent has to take the right steps to develop confidence in their child, and doesn't give any examples of the techniques the book recommends. In other words, the excerpt lacks the meat needed to judge whether the book has merit.

Summary: Give your child the emotional tools they need.
Comment: I finally found a parenting book that doesn't preach to me, or give 'quick-fix' answers. Instead, "The Confident Child...", helps me understand myself, and why I parent the way I do. It helps me to understand my daughter's emotions better which in turn helps me help her.
I especially like the "How to be an Imperfect Parent Without Ruining Your Childs Life" chapter. Wonderful suggestions, that are working in the real world.
With the assistance of this book Terri Apter has helped me pinpoint why my daughter's self-esteem issues arise. She's not the angry perfectionist I thought she was. Now I know where to start!
