Empower My Child – Review & Giveaway – CLOSED

by Mommy on June 22, 2009

empower

As a new parent, I want to try to my best to bring up my daughter to be the best that she can possibly be when she grows up.  It is a huge task for a parent to take on. Raising a child is one of the most difficult things I have done, and it’s only just begun.  There are so many different books and Internet sites and advice from parents and unsolicited advice from strangers it is hard to know what to do in certain situations.  It is also hard to remember all the things you read and put them into practice when you’ve got a child to raise that is running around and you have to act on your toes.  Empower My Child has a unique concept that uses visual cues to help parents remember key aspects to parenting.

empower2Empower My Child has a two parts to it’s system.  The first part is a small book with parenting tips and skills and situational examples.  The book is small enough to fit in your purse or diaper bag so it can always be with you if you ever need to know what to do in a certain situation.  I like the book a lot.  The first day that I received it, I read it to my husband and mother.  The chapters and each subcategory are very easy to read and have great examples which come along with each parenting skill.  The book includes real situations with real examples.  I can just easily pick up the book at any time and read one of the topics, each topic is about a page long so there’s no need to set aside a lot of time.  It is simple to pick up the book and start where you last left off without missing anything.  I can also skip to categories which are appropriate for each situation I may be in.

empower1The second aspect to Empower My Child is that the book comes with matching T-shirts with each lesson title silk screened on it.  I received the ‘Give Me Hope’ t-shirt in raspberry.  I have to say the visual cues really do work.  Whenever DD is wearing her Give Me Hope shirt, it almost brings me to tears.  I remember that she is just a small person, and it is up to me to bring her up and be the one to send her on her way.  I am reminded all day that I am the one that needs to bring her hope.  I also think that it is a cue for strangers and others around.  She is just a baby and the shirt is a cue that it is up to adults to bring her a safe environment where she can grow up to be confident in herself, this starts with us giving her hope.

The book and t-shirts by Empower My Child are an excellent and easy way for parents and everyone else to remember some important parenting lessons.  The visual reminder really does work.  You can buy the Empower My Child book and then purchase the t-shirts separately.  I would suggest getting the shirts that you need the most help in remembering.  Remember, we are the ones that are responsible for making a comfortable and loving environment for children to grow up and explore in.  With the Empower My Child shirts we are reminded that it is up to us to create those environments for them.

Accept My Feelings sounds like a great lesson to learn – many parents need to learn it!

My best advice is to always encourage your children to be kind to others and appreciate the good things in life.

My best parenting tip (although I am new) is that everyone should remember that they are children and they are being explorative and adventurous so have patience, one day this exploration could lead to greatness and even if it doesn’t – at least we all had fun! Let your kids be kids!

My Son & Dtr-in-law could really use this! I think ‘Winning a child’s cooperation’ would be very helpful, especially for the “hard years” or milestone years!

My best parenting tip is: No sugary cereals, drinks etc. until a child is older – and then only in moderation! (That also includes NO Poptarts etc.!)
