Book review: Raising Uncommon Kids

Most parents struggle at one point or another with their kids. Whether it's getting them to clean their room, do their homework, or stop picking on their brother, all parents face it at some point. However, most parents don't see how their own attitude and flaws are affecting their children's choices and behaviors. Parents often fail to recognize that their child learned their selfish behavior from watching them.

Author Sami Cone addresses this very issue in her book Raising Uncommon Kids. Cone uses twelve everyday life scenarios to tackle twelve biblical truths that we all need reminded of. Topics like harmony, patience, forgiveness, and humility are covered, along with many other essentials.

This book can be a good eye-opening tool for parents who are striving to raise their children to be selfless and loving towards others in a generation that is teaching children the exact opposite.
