5.0 out of 5 stars How to be a Hero...to your kids ; )

I have read this book over the 20 years I have been a parent. It is so very beneficial not only when your kids are small but also as they grow. I know that there have been many things my husband and I learned from this book that our kids benefited from. One of the most important was saying "sorry" when we as a parent failed, and asking their forgiveness. We love our children and want to be able to have the opportunity to speak grace and truth into their lives for many years to come and this book points us to the True Source in all of that.

One of the best books I've read on parenting. Instead of focusing on what the child should do, it helps parents create a healthy, nurturing environment for children to develop good character and a healthy self-worth.
