The world has a formula for confidence. It goes like this: You are amazing and perfect, just the way you are. People should love and accept you, and if they don't, well, that's their problem. The Christian community partners with this. We are told in church: God made you perfect and precious. You are unique and wonderful, like a gemstone in his eyes, worthy of so much. We think that if our children could just believe those statements deep in their hearts, then they would be confident. If they could just discover who they are and express it well, then they would have joy. If they could just live those beliefs, then they would be able to weather the storms in the world. The problem is that it doesn't seem to be working...In this thought-provoking and engaging book Rachel Turner explores how we can help our children to discover a healthy core of confidence, offering practical wisdom and suggestions for nurturing this in daily life.
