“If we parents accept that problems are an essential part of life's challenges, rather than reacting to every problem as if something has gone wrong with the universe that's supposed to be perfect, we can demonstrate serenity and confidence in problem solving for our kids.By telling them that we know they have a problem and we know they can solve it, we can pass on a realistic attitude as well as empower our children with self-confidence and a sense of their own worth.” IfsKnowsWellsChildrenSelfProblemKidsUniverseParentChallengesPerfectAttitudeAcceptingGoneEssentialsOur ChildrenSolveSelf ConfidenceSupposed To BeEmpoweringRealisticSerenityProblem SolvingParts Of LifeReacting Author:Barbara Coloroso

“You can be distracted by your love life, by the baseball game, movies, by the nonsense. "Can I get my kid into this private school? Can I get this girl to go out with me Saturday night? Am I going to get the promotion in my office?" All this stuff, but in the end the universe burns out.

“I spent the first few years of my life in a smallish community in Queens. Back in those early days, kids could roam the streets with relatively little supervision and one place I visited frequently was the local library. This particular branch was little more than a storefront but to me it was an alternative universe where I could explore my interests and receive kind, informative answers to my questions from the wonderful librarians.” YearsFirstsKindLittlesKidsUniverseInterestCommunityAnswersWonderfulStreetsParticularLibraryLocalsAlternativesQueensBranchesLibrarianSupervisionInformative Author:Jonathan Kellerman
