Confident Parents, Confident Kids lays out an approach for helping parents—and the kids they love—hone their emotional intelligence so that they can make wise choices, connect and communicate well with others (even when patience is thin), and become socially conscious and confident human beings. How do we raise a happy, confident kid? And how can we be confident that our parenting is preparing our child for success? Our confidence develops from understanding and having a mastery over our emotions (aka emotional intelligence)—and helping our children do the same. Like learning to play a musical instrument, we can fine-tune our ability to skillfully react to those crazy, wonderful, big feelings that naturally arise from our child’s constant growth and changes, moving from chaos to harmony. We want our children to trust that they can conquer any challenge with hard work and persistence; that they can love boundlessly; that they will find their unique sense of purpose; and they will act wisely in a complex world. This book shows you how. With author and educator Jennifer Miller as your supportive guide, you'll learn: the lies we’ve been told about emotions, how they shape our choices, and how we can reshape our parenting decisions in better alignment with our deepest values. how to identify the temperaments your child was born with so you can support those tendencies rather than fight them. how to align your biggest hopes and dreams for your kids with specific skills that can be practiced, along with new research to support those powerful connections. about each age and stage your child goes through and the range of learning opportunities available. how to identify and manage those big emotions (that only the parenting process can bring out in us!) and how to model emotional intelligence for your children. how to deal with the emotions and influences of your choir—the many outside individuals and communities who directly impact your child’s life, including school, the digital world, extended family, neighbors, and friends. Raising confident, centered, happy kids—while feeling the same way about yourself—is possible with Confident Parents, Confident Kids.

The desire of every parent is to have a happy, confident child.

Parent mentoring guidelines are included in order to help parents maximize their child’s potential while providing him/her acceptance and motivation. Raising a child is never easy and cannot be done perfectly. Children enter this world with their own personalities, their own uniqueness.

Times have changed rapidly and drastically in recent years due to technology and science. What has not changed is human nature. A smile feels good while a frown is uncomfortable. How a person stands, talks, reacts are what readers can become aware of as each element of the Framework is covered. A variety of fun exercises are included in each chapter so parents and children can learn in an enjoyable environment. Children live up to what they believe they can do. Even adults are limited or motivated by their own self-beliefs. Mastering the elements of the Frame provides every child the opportunity to be the best that they can be.
