I found this easy to read and understand. Parents and kids are doing the best they can. Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for a copy.

This was a book I was very interested in because I am a first time mom to a daughter and so I wanted to learn how to raise my child to be resilient. I found this to be an interesting book, I can’t say for sure that these methods would work but I will make an attempt to try it out but either way I enjoyed reading.

The concept of resilience and how it can help children manage their lives can be very useful to any parent - or any person involved with helping people wanting to live more positive, successful lives. The information Dixon covered in this short book is valid, but the writing style is that of an enthusiastic amateur gushing about something he found eye-opening. The writing needs a lot of proof reading and editing especially in sentence structure and word choice. Plus, I know authors today are having issues with the use of ‘they’ as a pronoun of choice, but although Dixon tried, switching from it to their or they and meaning one child or every child or maybe multiple children - well, he was very inconsistent and all he did was create confusion for this reader.
And Dixon did not know his subject well. It sounded as if he was pulling information from sources without understanding that information. An example is in the first two paragraphs of Chapter Two. He mixed Gardener’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences with a different definition of intelligence and what he wrote was just wrong.
But to me the most egregious part of this book was the examples he gave as ways to help a child achieve resilience. Every example had to do with doing better in athletics or getting top marks in school. That was it. Apparently in Dixon’s world view, those two areas are the only ones where a child should be successful. Sports and grades. That’s it. Sheesh.
If you buy this book, use the references to begin your exploration of how to develop resilience in your children. Knowing about resilience and what developing it can do for your child can be a very effective and useful tool for any parent – just don’t start with this book.

Practical and implementable book, this one packs a punch, especially for the current age - technology, the pandemic, and life in general. Thanks to NetGalley for a copy of this book. I am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is a lovely book that I cant recommend highly enough, resilience is absolutely something we need to install in our children who have grown up in a pandemic, and this is a book that promotes this in a relevant, practical and easy to read manner. I loved that this book was short and therefore utterly made it accessible in my opinion. Another thing I loved is how it touched on neuroscience, again in a highly readable way,

My thanks to NetGalley, author and publisher for the opportunity to review this book in exchange for an honest review.

I don't know about others but I feel we need more of such books at where I live.

The book gives a very good understanding of what the word resilient means and that too for raising resilient kids; why it is required and what parents can do.

I love the basic concept of the seven Cs (read the book to know, it's worth it) about resilience. It's not over the top nor too less. I would say I agree with the minimal basic description of what can be expected and what is humanly possible for the parents to guide the kids for the same.

The book is short (I am eagerly waiting for the next book). The writing is fairly easy to follow. And it's not at all a tough read.

Please do not forget to read the conclusion. It will make the read really worthwhile.

Thank you, Go Make a Change, for the advance reading copy.

A great book for personal and professional use. It is well informative and educational. It's a book I will always refer back to
