When my children were tiny, I didn’t give a lot of thought to what type of character traits I wanted them to have. My primary concern was that they were healthy and happy.

Strong and Kind by Korie Robertson
My children are 18 and 22 now, and I think they have matured into reasonably good “almost” adults. As I think about the people they’ve matured to be, I realize that perhaps happiness shouldn’t have been one of my primary goals.
If I had it to do over, I would have spent more time helping them develop the traits they needed to be successful rather than simply happy.
In her new book STRONG and KIND: And Other Important Character Traits Your Child Needs to Succeed, Korie Robertson – New York Times bestselling author, wife of Duck Commander® CEO Willie Robertson, star of A&E’s Duck Dynasty, and mother of five – argues that developing good character in our children is the single most important thing we can do to help ensure they lead happy, healthy adult lives.
Robertson explores key traits and what they truly look like in action, asks readers to select the two traits that they hope to see most in their children, and shares hands-on ways for nurturing strength of character. Written with her mother Chrys Howard and featuring stories and wisdom from husband Willie, STRONG and KIND cuts through the contemporary cacophony of parenting manuals to rediscover, unfold, and embrace the enduring wisdom that has guided the best parents for centuries.
Strong and Kind by Korie Robertson is an inspiring book that is useful not only to those who are raising younger children but also to those who are trying to work on improving their positive character traits.
While we may have more influence on our children when they are three than when they are 13 or 23, it is still possible to lead by example. Strong and Kind is both practical and doable even in today’s world. I have always admired the program Duck Dynasty, and I love that I got a deeper look into their lives and what they think is important. While Strong and Kind is a Christian parenting book, it is applicable to anyone who is trying to raise children that are strong, compassionate and hard working.
Ellen is a mom of a 25-year-old son and 30-year-old daughter. She is Grandma to one adorable toddler. In what little spare time she has, she loves to read, watch movies, and check out the latest toys and games.
I learned that the author believes there are nine character traits that children need in order to lead a successful life.
I truly enjoy these type of books which can relate to parenting or just a way to better our own lives. I actually didn’t know anything about the folks on Duck Dynasty before checking out the website!
I learned co author Chrys Howard is the mother of a big Duck Dynasty personality. She’s also written multiple books!
It is a wonderful book about how to raise children that have these nine character traits. I think that this is a good book because it uses biblical principals that are so needed for this day and age!
I learned that you can download a sample chapter to read and the book comes out October 27th.

I learned that the author believes that there are nine character traits that our children should possess. The author also believes that the time for complaining is over. It’s time for parents to start shaping the world, by first shaping the children we bring in to it, to be upstanding citizens.

I learned that Korie spends alot more time doing good then one would initially thing. I was surprised to find out that she spends time in the Dominican. I’m looking forward to reading this book:)
I learned that Chrys was a teacher
This looks like just the type of book that my family would read. Family values are important, and a lesson that should not be neglected.
It’s important for parents to LIVE the values they are trying to teach their children.
So sorry I missed this one. I agree with her building character is super important for children, although for me the most important mission for me was ensuring they were believers. I think I did well on the character portion. The jury is still out on the believer portion.
