Review of Your Childhood Holds The Key
Raising children is hard work. It involves self-sacrifice yet brings rich rewards. One of the important steps parents must take to ensure they enjoy such rewards is that they must avoid passing on negative traits to their children. How can this be done? Your Childhood Holds The Key by Maria Steuer provides helpful information on how parents can achieve this.
This book explains how early training or the attitude we adopt in early childhood affects how we react to certain situations later in life. It goes on to explain how this can also affect how we raise children. The book further discusses eight basic negative messages parents pass on to their children, how love and care can help regulate emotion and stress in a child, how parents can become emotional regulators for their babies, and how parents can help their children become self-efficient. Parents will find this book encouraging. The author logically explains how parents can change their bad habits, why they should use only positive words when addressing their kids, and how correction can be administered lovingly without damaging the child emotionally.
Your Childhood Holds The Key appealed to me immensely. The chapters were properly organized and easy to navigate. What I love most about this book is the author's powerful use of illustrations and examples. Her illustrations and examples were drawn from familiar situations. For instance, the illustration of couples in love on page 49 aptly describes what was meant by quality time. This illustration made it crystal clear that quality needs quantity and that the number one relationship killer is lack of time. Parents who find it difficult to spend enough time with their children can learn a lot from this part of the book.
I also love how the author developed the main points. Each chapter was well concluded and summarized. The summaries were effective memory aids. Another interesting feature of this book is the skillful use of questions. Some of the questions were thought-provoking and can help readers arrive at the right conclusion. Interestingly, the author also referred to some videos on YouTube. These videos can help readers have a better understanding of the subject matter.
The book deserves a rating of 4 out of 4 stars. It was awesomely edited and excellently written. I have no dislikes about this book. Parents, guardians, and others who wish to have better parenting skills will love reading this book.
