This is one of those books that I thought I would read to help my kids be better kids, when actually it challenged me as a parent way more than I expected. And I needed it! ⁣⁣

Kids are products of what they see modeled around them. This book made me see areas where I really need to improve but not in a guilt inducing way. ⁣⁣The author is quick to point out her own parenting mistakes and uses these examples to build character in her kids. I took away so much from this book that I’m giving it to my husband to read next. ⁣⁣

I’m only sad it took me this long to pick it up because I would have benefited so much from the tools and advice if I hadn’t waited. I already have plans to put things into practice in our dome right away and I love that this book inspired me to do just that!⁣⁣

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. ⁣

I loved the concept of this book, a mix of memoir and parenting book about raising children to appreciate the importance of gratitude and live it out in their lives, all from a Christian perspective. Unfortunately instead of being a book about raising grateful children, it is actually a book about raising Fundamentalist Christian children. Sexual identity and affiliation are not pertinent to the book’s topic, but the author included writing about her unaccepting attitude towards the LGBT community, who are of course children of God. I could not finish this book.
