About the Book

StrongAndKindFINALJACKETART_CVR
 
In her new book STRONG and KIND: And Other Important Character Traits Your Child Needs to Succeed, Korie Robertson – New York Times bestselling author, wife of Duck Commander® CEO Willie Robertson, star of A&E’s Duck Dynasty, and mother of five – argues that developing good character in our children is the single most important thing we can do to help ensure they lead happy, healthy adult lives.  Robertson explores key traits and what they truly look like in action, asks readers to select the two traits that they hope to see most in their children, and shares hands-on ways for nurturing strength of character.  Written with her mother Chrys Howard and featuring stories and wisdom from husband Willie, STRONG and KIND cuts through the contemporary cacophony of parenting manuals to rediscover, unfold, and embrace the enduring wisdom that has guided the best parents for centuries.
 
 
 
My Thoughts
 

I admit I was intrigued by this book because it is written by Korie Robertson who is the wife of CEO Willie Robertson from Duck Dynasty.  I have only ever seen that show once with my nephew but he adores it and I was curious as to what a mother of five on top of being in the spotlight and religious had to say. I can only imagine the struggles she faces with her children while being in the spotlight. My older kids have issues with me blogging their more embarrassing moments. 

Strong and Kind is actually broken down into three part: Good Character, Character Traits and Parent Kinds of Characters. I like that because it makes reading and rereading things a little easier for me. I like to be able to go back to my favorite parts and this really helped. Korie offers wonderful advice and shares many of her own experiences. I also really appreciate that even though there are religious undertones in the book they are not in my face. Since we are Catholic my own religion means a lot to me and I love that Korie didn’t make me feel as though my own beleifs were less than hers.
