The Child Whisperer Book Giveaway Contest
3
I’m lucky enough to be part of the launch team for The Child Whisperer, by Carol Tuttle, and as part of that I’m running a contest for a free book (I’ll ship it to you free as long as you’re in the continental US). The book teaches you how to read unsaid clues in your child’s body language, facial features and behavior in order to understand who they are and how to parent them with joy and connection.
The book will be available on Amazon on October 23, and I’ll announce the winner of my contest on October 22.
Here’s the contest: in the comments section, please send me in an example of when you’ve perceived your child to be truly him/herself. It could be something they’ve done, something they do continuously, a way they act or express themselves, or just how they look when they’re being themselves.
Obviously, I’m the only judge, and judging will be completely and utterly subjective.
Hi Sue, I’ve just discovered your blog (didn’t know you had one!) and love it. Yes, I’d like to be in the contest. You’ve met Bridget and can probably tell that she’s one of those people who is very comfortable in her own skin. So she’s pretty much always herself. So I want to talk about Tristan. His passion is soccer, and he’s played for 10 years now. Watching him in action on the soccer field is amazing to me. He is obviously “in the zone,” and his grace and strategy are beautiful. I never thought I’d be a soccer Mom; he surely didn’t get his sports gene from me. But I love to watch him play. And last night, after his final game (in which his team tied 1-1, but it’s not about the outcome, for him), his comment to his Dad was, “did you see me take those two big guys out!?” with a big grin. So we facilitate his passion as much as possible. The fall season just ended, and he’s already signed up for the winter (indoor) league. :)
Rolled a die, Nikki, and it’s yours! Email me your address and I’ll mail you the book.
She’s lucky to have you as a mom! That kind of energy is all too often discouraged in girls, and even boys these days. It’s often the kids who have “a lot” of anything — joy, curiosity, energy, that are told they are “too much,” or don’t fit the idea of the “quiet, well-behaved child” (who is often just a type 2 or 4).
