"It is not easy to find helpful books for growing children today; there are many massive tomes telling their parents what to do, where they have gone wrong and what they should be doing in exhaustive detail, all making them feel rather inadequate. But these books are for both the children and their parents, or, in my case, grand-parents, and are keyed to particular character strenghts and weaknesses that any child may be stuggling with. They can be used one page at a time, one day at a time. How much this sort of teaching is needed for our young ones as they grow; they need to build self-confidence every day, in a world that wants to knock it down. One topic is approached in one book, and not mixed with others; this way, they become less confusing for younger children, who soon learn the concepts being put across in the single volume, before tackling another one. Congratulations on identifying a need and filling it."
