Nam Nguyen's Raising Future Leaders helps you guide your child or children in your classroom through feelings and development knowledge. Nguyen's text will assist you in raising them with confidence and kindness, as you model the behaviors you hope to see in them. Each chapter introduces a concept, explains it, and suggests ways to apply it in daily life. The author sums up the material and includes "Take Home Actions" for every section, helping readers understand the concept, develop the skill, enhance the child's abilities, and model and integrate the skill into a child's routine. Some important topics include setting realistic goals, encouraging positive self-talk, modeling the behavior you hope to see in the child, mindfulness, resilience, the power of a good routine, effective communication, developing an emotional vocabulary, self-discipline, assigning age-appropriate tasks, and so much more.
Nam Nguyen reveals how to recognize natural leadership qualities, foster them, and provide children who may not want to lead with low-stress opportunities to develop leadership skills. You can tailor your approach to suit a child's developmental stage and emotional maturity. By using research from leading experts in child development, the author supplies a wealth of information you can access repeatedly. I liked the idea of having an open communication between the parent and the child. As a mom of seven children and a past educator, I have found it was my most valuable tool when understanding a child's needs and determining the best way to nurture the child. Applying just a few suggestions from the material will yield results and may motivate your child and inspire you, too. Educators, group leaders, parents, and caregivers who are ready to encourage a child's strengths and life skills will benefit from reading Raising Future Leaders.
