Making Good Choices

Chapter 7 finds TG distraught because he thinks he has failed in his mission. He realises he has made some silly choices and the Crystal Lady has all but faded away. He feels a failure and wants to give up.

The Rainbow Warriors rally round him and help him to

• calmly recognise and acknowledge the mistakes he has made.

• assess what he has learned up until now

• not feel a failure just because he hasn’t succeeded so far

• be determined to carry on, acting on what he has learned

• believe in himself and what he knows to be right

• not to allow himself to be manipulated into doing things he really doesn’t want to do

• talk things through with someone he respects

They explain to him that if he acts on this when he has to make choices in the future, they are more likely to be the right choices.

This chapter also offers the opportunity to recap on some of the issues covered in previous chapters.

• Bullying and manipulation

• Sugars

• Constipation

• Fats and fast foods

• Fizzy drinks and additives

• Phyto Power

Secrets of Parenting Without Giving a F^ck

​

A large part of the essence of this book is about bringing children up to think things through and encouraging them to become discerning adults.

My advice to parents of children of all ages would be:

Read the book

Keep the book

Refer to the book - frequently

It is packed full of valuable advice to help with virtually every aspect of parenting you can think of ranging from dealing with toddler tantrums to handling social media.Too many to go into in a short review.

Sue takes you through why children behave in certain ways and more to the point why we as parents do.

At the end of each chapter there are bullet point questions to ask yourself to help rally your thoughts about that particular topic, followed by a short snappy Takeaway Tool.

AND you find out what your Superpower is and how to pass it onto your children!
