MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK
In Let Them Be Kids, Jessica Smartt offers mothers a wealth of information when raising their kids. These are not just tips and tricks, they are profound ways that this author not only researched, but things that have proven true as she raises her own children. She covers a multitude of topics, such as family time vs. outside activities, being “cool” or not, boredom, technology usage sexual purity, and showing grace when kids disobey, and many other things you will find you deal with in raising your child.
As you read Let Them Be Kids, you will find Ms. Smart gives guidelines that have worked with her family as well as other families she knows. She is not saying you must do this or that, she is telling you things that will help you, if you so choose to use them. I also like that this author gives guidelines that have given her children a Christ like atmosphere, when teaching them coping skills for living. Everything in this book is something that can be helpful for moms. This is one I highly recommend!
