Publisher: Harper Collins Christian Publishing (October 27, 2015)

Format:  Hardcover

240 Pages

In her new book STRONG and KIND: And Other Important Character Traits Your Child Needs to Succeed, Korie Robertson – New York Times bestselling author, wife of Duck Commander® CEO Willie Robertson, star of A&E’s Duck Dynasty, and mother of five – argues that developing good character in our children is the single most important thing we can do to help ensure they lead happy, healthy adult lives.  Robertson explores key traits and what they truly look like in action, asks readers to select the two traits that they hope to see most in their children, and shares hands-on ways for nurturing strength of character.  Written with her mother Chrys Howard and featuring stories and wisdom from husband Willie, STRONG and KIND cuts through the contemporary cacophony of parenting manuals to rediscover, unfold, and embrace the enduring wisdom that has guided the best parents for centuries.

Here is a note from Korie:

I admit I was intrigued by this book because it is written by Korie Robertson who is the wife of CEO Willie Robertson from Duck Dynasty.  My husband and I love that show and while we are not very religious people, I do appreciate her words in the book as her being a mother. To be a mother is hard enough and she is a mom of five plush she is in the spotlight, so its extra challenging I would assume for her.

In Strong and Kind, the book is broken down into three part: Good Character, Character Traits and Parent Kinds of Characters. I like that it is easily picked up and a few pages can be read at a time. As a mom of three I definitely need all the help I can get and am always interested in ideas. She has great advice and she shares so many of her own experiences. From the television show Duck Dynasty it is easy to get a feel for how they interact and are as a family but it is nice to hear from Korie’s own mouth how she felt and dealt with things. My kids are still young and as their mother I want them to grow up to be strong and kind individuals, I guess I never thought I should start guiding them on those paths. Kids learn from examples and with the world as crazy as it can be I want to be the one setting the examples and nurturing them. I haven’t finished the book yet but I have read a lot, even skipping around throughout the book, and it is a good read. There are some religious undertowns in it as church and God are very important to the Robertsons (as seen in the show) but its not pushy nor is it said their way or the highway. There are also many great pictures in the book of Korie and her family.
