 very useful book for the adult as well as children February 22, 2007

Recently i read this book. Firstly i bought it for my little sister, but on reading i found that my mind has been healing gradually. br /Generally speaking, it's fact that 'feeling' is ignored. Although our feeling is hurted, try to get away from it or calm down for oneself. But i realize that it may cause to be some problems for me. Hurted feelings absolutely have to be solved. someone who be same to me need to read this book.
 Goals and Expectations. November 4, 2006

I thought this would be a good book until I read the paragraph telling kids not the set goals too high and keep expectations realistic. I tossed it after that. br / br /Shouldn't kids be settting high goals for themselves and working to achieve them? Even if the goals seem unrealistic, should anyone really tell a kid his expectations are too high?

As a child psychologist who has been helping children with their social skills for over 20 years now, I use this very book in my social skills group therapy. Parents can read this with their child or give it to their child to read alone. Great for children with AD/HD, ODD and Asperger's....all of whom get teased and rejected by their peers. If your child needs this book he or she would probably benefit from a social skills group too.
BEST SELF-HELP BOOK FOR KIDS ... October 8, 2005

A teacher at school recommended this book to a neighbor. Her son was having trouble with bullies, and with guidance from this book, he learned a lot about self-esteem, self-confidence, and the power gained by sticking up for himself. br / br /What a joy to see the change in this young man. I recommend it for every parent. It's not only helpful in handling school-yard bullies, it also trains the children to have the confidence to handle bullies in the workforce and other situations throughout their lives. br / br /This author is to be highly commended for the help she's giving children, enabling them to have better, happier, more productive lives.
Keeping Your Nose Clean March 21, 2005

I love this book and wish I had had it as a child. It is an excellent and empowering tool that helps readers develop esteem and assertiveness skills. br / br /For me, there are fewer things more irksome and distasteful than brown nosing. Taking command of oneself and being assertive, that is declaring one's needs without infringing upon the rights of others is a major accomplishment and does a lot to keep one's nose from becoming brown and clogged with wasteful residue caused by sycophantic servility. br / br /This book provides excellent examples of developing assertiveness skills which feed and lead into higher esteem and is helpful for ALL ages. There is a strong positive correlation between assertiveness and esteem - that is, the more assertive one is, the higher one's self esteem is and the more positive their self image is. br / br /I wish I could rate this work even more stars. It is a book for everybody!
