It’s Not What They Do – It’s Who They Are too often parents shuffle their kids off the lessons and activities, hoping to raise their children’s self-esteem through performance.   But Raising Confident Kids shows that self-image is formed not by what kids do, but where they belong: the family.

Noted family therapist Robert Barnes shows how to build a strong family and raise confident kids by

• "Dating" their children
• Creating family traditions
• Setting rules and sticking to them
• Calling family meetings
• Assigning daily chores

In addition, he shows how the strongest self-images are based on a relationship with Christ.  With a self-image based on Christ and strengthened by the family, a child will be less likely to be vulnerable to the negative influences of peers.

Using scriptural guidelines and an abundance of common sense and counseling experience.  Barnes resolves the common conflicts between parents and children and establishes the groundwork for raising happy, confident kids.
