How Children Succeed- 12 Steps To Help Prepare Your Kids For Success Kindle Edition

What are the strengths of your child? What are their weaknesses? Are they responsible or are they dependable? What would they do in a situation if…?

If you haven’t asked yourself these questions about your child before, then it is time to start before it’s too late.

Education is important, but character even more so.

And it starts in the home.

Children are a direct reflection of their upbringing. How they handle themselves, unexpected problems, setbacks, rejection, or the harsh reality of the world all depends on how and what they were taught. It’s a big—but important—task, and you may even feel unqualified for the job, but this navigational guide is all you will ever need.

In “How Children Succeed” Rachel Burgess offers a 12-step guide on how to raise your children as responsible adults of character and resilience. A mother of three, Rachel not only advises from a place of experience, but from confidence in the results of her daily-tested strategies.

Here’s a peek at some of the topics touched on:

  • Teaching Responsibility Through Chores
  • Emotional Response to Failure
  • Benefits of High Expectation
  • Fostering Social Skills
  • Commitment to Learning Daily
  • How to Praise Them When They Do Well
  • Promoting Healthy Choices
  • The Importance of Problem-Solving Skills
  • The Relevance of Confidence - Physically, Emotionally, and Intellectually
  • Raising an Entrepreneur

Whether you are a new parent, a seasoned parent, a single parent, or a double unit, “How Children Succeed” is for you. We can never “know enough” when it comes to raising our kids—it takes a village. As the world evolves at such a rapid pace, so do our kids. With so many choices and technology at their disposal, we would do best to take quick action in the developmental stage of our children’s lives and begin molding them into the adults we want them to be before the world does.

After all, our children are the future. It is our duty to raise them right.

About the Author

A former schoolteacher, Rachel Burgess has an all-encompassing love for children and a profound passion for grooming young minds in their developmental stages. It started at age twelve when she, a kid herself, had to step up and pitch in to assist her single mom with her two younger siblings--she knew she had to set a good example for them to follow. All through college, she babysat part-time, not just for the extra cash, but because she enjoyed being around kids, with their wild, imaginative minds and endless questions. At forty-one, now a wife and a mother of three, Rachel has mastered the art of nurturing and exhorting not just young ones but humans in general, with extreme patience, kindness, and empathy. To her friends and family, Rachel might be known as "the best hostess" and "an amazing cook," but her true confidence lies in teaching, advising, and imparting every bit of wisdom she has gleaned over the years and through experience. She has been a guest speaker at numerous parenting conferences, local events, and podcasts. In addition to teaching monthly parenting classes, hosting an annual parenting workshop, writing helpful, instructional books, and administering Sunday school at her local church, Rachel is also a private tutor and parenting coach. Her goal is to help as many young people as possible whilst learning and adapting each day to a rapidly evolving world designed to steal and hold young minds captive. When she's not teaching, writing, or coaching, you can find Rachel bonding with her own kids, planning date nights with her loving husband, or watching re-runs of Grey's Anatomy.

5.0 out of 5 stars I mean, who doesn't want there kid to succeed?
Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2019

Part of this book will be common sense...but that doesn't mean we don't need a reminder to use that common sense when parenting our kids. There were also some pretty good golden nuggets of info that I didn't expect. Part of that came from Chapter 6 on fostering healthy relationships and why it's so freakin' important to model having self-respect and healthy boundaries. Let's face it, our kids are watching our every move from the moment they're born to the day they eventually (hopefully) move out. It's good to get a refresher on a few things to help get our kids through their childhood and come out as respectable humans beings. This book acts as that refresher.

So whether you have little one in the terrible two (like me) or in one in pubertyville, this book has got some nugget bombs of wisdom for you. Happy parenting!

I work with kids a lot by babysitting and I wanted to learn more about how children think and overall how I can help them. I really enjoy babysitting and I will want to work with children in the future and help as many as I can and this book taught me some things that I didn’t know before and those things really benefited me. If you are around kids or have kids yourself, I would highly recommend you read this book. It’s not long and gets straight to the point and is easy to navigate through. The author is also interesting with the ways she explains of how she handles her kids’ problems.

This book most definitely delivered on its promises. Before reading this book I had a lot of preconceived notions about what works when it comes to getting kids to succeed and motivating them effectively. Wow was I wrong!! This book does a lot of reteaching and busting some opinions I used to have about motivation and what tricks actually work. This is one I’ll keep coming back to when we hit a slump, it’s a great resource to have!!

I have three siblings and I learned most of what I know from my parents. I found out so much more about rosining a child that’s going to be as successful as they can and that’s exactly what I’m going to do with my kids in the future. Very educational book and fun to read. Get it
