Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. We want our children to be people of strong moral character who value and display wisdom, compassion, and courage. We want them to develop hearts of kindness, faithfulness, and humility while living generously, persevering through life's challenges, and walking in obedience to Christ. But how do we help our kids develop character traits that will go the distance, no matter what life throws at them?We pray.Comprised of scripture-inspired prayers for thirty-one character traits and a section of commentary with tips on how to pray powerfully and effectively, Proven Character: Praying for Our Children will help you discover how prayer creates space for God's work to be accomplished. This devotional will help you develop the skills to pray for your children's character development, take up the shield of faith on their behalf, silence the enemy, access God's presence, and encourage their faith. Our children are worthy of our prayers. Our prayers exert a powerful influence upon the spiritual environment in which children make their choices. As you pray through these specific character traits--one for each day of the month--you will learn to invoke the truths of God's word, invite the Holy Spirit's influence, and impact children's lives for Christ.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. "A persuasive wake-up call."--People A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From the award-winning journalist Paul Tough, a provocative and profound examination of child development, success, and character--an insightful study that reveals the power to transform young people's lives. Why do some children succeed while others fail? The story we usually tell about childhood and success is the one about intelligence: success comes to those who score highest on tests, from preschool admissions to SATs. In How Children Succeed, Paul Tough argues that success has more to do with character--a set of noncognitive skills that includes perseverance, curiosity, optimism, and self-control. In this groundbreaking study grounded in psychology and neuroscience, Tough introduces us to key researchers and educators, who, for the first time, are using the tools of science to peel back the mysteries of character. Through their stories--and the stories of the children they are trying to help--Tough reveals how developing character strengths like grit has the power to transform young people's lives. This provocative and profoundly hopeful book will not only inspire and engage readers--it will also change our understanding of childhood itself. Why is our modern focus on test scores and IQ failing so many children--and what does the science of child development say we should be focusing on instead? The Character Hypothesis: An exploration of why qualities like perseverance, curiosity, and self-control are more predictive of long-term success than IQ scores from preschool to the SATs. The Science of Stress: A look at the groundbreaking neuroscience revealing how childhood adversity shapes the developing brain, and how nurturing relationships can reverse the damage. How Character is Built: From the classrooms of innovative schools to the labs of leading psychologists, discover how traits like grit and self-discipline are not born, but made. Rethinking Education: A new roadmap for parents and educators that moves beyond the achievement gap and focuses on creating environments where all children can thrive.…

"This book is a testament to the extraordinary depth, powers, and resiliency of children's spirits." --Marion Wright Edelman, president, Children's Defense Fund If I Get to Five is a one-of-a-kind book by a one-of-a-kind human being. The medical world knows him as Fred Epstein, M.D., the neurosurgeon who pioneered life-saving procedures for previously inoperable tumors in children. His patients and their families know him simply as Dr. Fred, the "miracle man" who has extended them both a healing hand and an open heart. Throughout his career Epstein's young patients have been his most important teachers and trusted guides. They are children who--often by sheer force of will--have refused to relinquish life and all its gifts. In this inspiring book, these children teach us the lessons we all need to learn in order to live life to the fullest--lessons about seizing the moment and facing our deepest fears, about embracing the joy and wonder of everyday life. Most of all, they teach lessons about uncommon courage--the courage to do what's hardest, to believe in what we don't understand, to love without boundaries. If I Get to Five takes us inside a world unlike any other, from the high-stakes, high-tech operating room where life and death are separated by a heartbeat to the sickrooms and recovery rooms where parents discover the limits and power of their faith. But most compelling of all is the journey inside the hearts, minds, and souls of the wisest children you will ever encounter. No one who reads this remarkable book will ever look at children--or adversity--in the same way.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Why do some children succeed while others fail? The story we usually tell about childhood and success is the one about intelligence: success comes to those who score highest on tests, from preschool admissions to SATs. But in How Children Succeed, Paul Tough argues that the qualities that matter most have more to do with character: skills like perseverance, curiosity, conscientiousness, optimism, and self-control. How Children Succeed introduces us to a new generation of researchers and educators who, for the first time, are using the tools of science to peel back the mysteries of character. Through their stories--and the stories of the children they are trying to help--Tough traces the links between childhood stress and life success. He uncovers the surprising ways in which parents do--and do not--prepare their children for adulthood. And he provides us with new insights into how to help children growing up in poverty. Early adversity, scientists have come to understand, can not only affect the conditions of children's lives, it can alter the physical development of their brains as well. But now educators and doctors around the country are using that knowledge to develop innovative interventions that allow children to overcome the constraints of poverty. And with the help of these new strategies, as Tough's extraordinary reporting makes clear, children who grow up in the most painful circumstances can go on to achieve amazing things. This provocative and profoundly hopeful book has the potential to change how we raise our children, how we run our schools, and how we construct our social safety net. It will not only inspire and engage readers, it will also change our understanding of childhood itself.…
