Enjoy Kweek Kinders Met Karakteruitgawe Spesiaal Vir Besige Mas Compiled By Hettie Brittz Publication

Kids With Characterby Hettie Brittz is a Christian NonFiction parenting text published by David C Cook.
This nonfiction text comes in all forms including eBook, and ispages in length, With a fulltime job and a very busy fiveyear old at home, this book took me about three weeks to digest.
This is not a book you want to go through quickly, There is a lot of good information to process, and I recommend taking the time to really read and understand the different ideas.
I received a copy of this text in paperback form from the publisher, David C Cook, which I requested from Litfuse Publicity Group.
I am not required to give a positive review, All opinions expressed in this review are my own, I give Growing Kids With CharacterSTARS,

I have a beautiful, highly intelligent, unique, creative, stubborn daughter, Her name is Bella. Bella is my miracle baby, and I love her so much, Those of you who read my blog know how special and important Bella is to me.
Bella is a firstborn, only child, She is a plethora of positive attributes, For the most part, Bella is a mature child, She is a joy to take on adventures, We just visited the Getty Museum, and we had a blast! She loved the various pieces of artwork, the gardens, and visiting the Museum store.
After almost five hours, she was done and asked if we could leave and get dinner.
No whining, no fighting! It was a wonderful family day, This is typical behavior for my child, and I admit I am blessed, She is a pretty easy kiddo! But sometimes, when shes in what I call her fighting moods, Im completely at a loss as to how to parent her.
Nothing seems to work when shes in these moods, and I feel like a total failure as a mommy.


When I saw that Growing Kids With Character was up for review, I had to jump on this opportunity, and I am so glad that I did.
I learned so much about my childs personality and how best to work with her in her typical good moods, and in her fightingmood moments.
When you purchase this book, you receive a code that allows you to take a test that helps you determine what kind of tree your childs personality is.
I completed the test with Bella in my lap, which I highly recommend doing with your own children.
She had insight into her personality that I didnt even realize she knew,

The test took me and Bella aboutminutes to complete, Its a series of really fun cartoon characters going through various scenarios, After the scenario is complete, the tester is given a question and you choose the best option.
Bella and I were pretty spot on where her personality is concerned, If she chose something different than what I was thinking, we were able to discuss why she felt a certain way, and then we made the appropriate choice for her.
At the end of the test, you receive the tree personality that best fits your child, and then you are told what pages in the book to read through to better understand the personality, the typical behaviors of that tree, and what to do and dont do in order to foster the positive potential, purpose, and passion of your child.


My child is a ContraPalm, That means she is a combination of Boxwood, Rosebush, and Pine tree personalities, The ContraPalm kiddo tends to be independent, content to play alone, responsible, and very eager to do things right.
This is my daughter to a T, Because she is a ContraPalm I had to read through the Boxwood, Rosebush, and Pine tree chapters to sort out and learn the best ways to understand, soothe, talk to, discipline, encourage, etc.
, my child, which is why this book took me a while to read, I have been able to put some of the concepts I learned from this book into practice, and I have already seen marked improvement in my relationship with my child.
For this reason alone, I highly recommend this book!

What I recommend with this book:
Read the introduction chapter it is NOT a waste of time.

Read chapters. These chapters setup and explain the whole point of the book, And, they have excellent reminders and quotes to write down on Postit Notes and put around your desk or wherever you put reminders up in your house.
For example, my favorite quote “A parent living surrendered to Jesus is a better example of a Christ follower than a parent who tries to fake perfection”.
Such a great starting point with this book we, as parents, have to be all about Jesus first before we can be the parents God wants us to be.
And, fake wont cut it!
Make a list of HOW you prioritize your children, This is not to make you feel bad or good, This is to open your eyes to what you already do!
Take the personality test with your child if that is feasible.
Obviously, a newborn will be no help in this situation! LOL!
Thoroughly read through each treepersonality chapter, and take NOTES!

What I love about this book:
Chapter breakdown
The beginning of each chapter starts with an agenda so the reader knows exactly what to expect from each chapter.

An example of that personality type
An explanation of HOW TO nurture the personality type so helpful
An explanation of HOW TO teach the personality type
An explanation of HOW TO discipline the personality type effectively
An explanation of HOW TO shape the personality type in the way God wants
The HOW TOs are actually helpful and SHOW what to do
There are scripts to follow.
You may not use the script, but its nice to watch a scenario play out in your head.

This book doesnt make you feel bad for not knowing things! This may be what I like the best.
There is ZERO condemnation here! Im just super excited to have tools to make a better relationship with my daughter.


WHEW! I know this is a BIG post today, but there is SO much to say about this fantastic parenting text.
If you have children, or you are planning to have children, I cannot recommend this book enough.
It will really bless you on your parenting journey, Life changing! Even helped in my marriage, Every parents goto book! Lovely book, explaining Hippocrates' four humours as different kinds of trees, and how to nurture and grow our little "saplings" according to their nature.
Some really sound, practical parenting advice, and would recommend reading it alongside Florence Littauer's "Personality Plus" and/or Tim LaHaye's "SpiritFilled Temperament".
I was really impressed with the analogy in this book and what Hettie had to say about bringing up our children.
Hettie uses four types of trees to describe each child's natural traits, She begins by using her gardening experience and how each seed needs a certain type of soil and nutrients.
She talks about how it's important to study and learn about each type of plant just as we need to learn about our children and what type of environment they need to grow.
She has a section for each personality type tree type,
I think this book is a great asset to parenting, Hettie shares some of her experience both positive and negative, I have personally learned quite a bit from it, and look forward to putting some of the ideas into practice.
It can be read all the way through and then reread to reinforce the parts that you want to use.

I received a copy of this book courtesy of Litfuse Publicity, the author and publisher.
I was not asked to write a positive review, All opinions are my own, Why I Choose This Book:

A few years ago I read another book by Miss Hettie, UnNatural Mom, and found her thoughts on mothering/personalities to be interesting.
Learning about how to interact with different personalities has always been something I am intrigued by, so I was excited to read this book, too.


Disclaimer: I'm not a parent, and therefore I obviously don't have experience parenting,

What I Thought of This Book:

It was so incredibly interesting! I had a lot of fun reading through this book which sounds weird cause it's a parenting book, but in reality, it was so intriguing.


Miss Hettie has a personality system where she compares people to trees, There are four different kinds of trees Palm Trees, Boxwood Trees, Rosebushes, and Pine Trees people are either one of these trees, or else a mixture.
It's a bit confusing for the first few pages, but it didn't take long to get the hang of what's going on and then it really begins to make sense.


The book is divided into different sections, To begin with, we learn about what the different types of personalities are, and then we move into learning how to work/learn/grow with the different personality types.


Reading the whole book got a little bit redundant because it went over the same information multiple times, just tweaking it depending on what personality they were talking about.


My favorite part of the book was when I got to my personality type.
There were several different ones where I was like "Oh, I can kinda relate to that" etc.
. . but then all at once I'm like "THIS!" and it was a

big lightbulb moment and I kept nodding my head.
What they had to say about how my personality type learns and grows and all that I kept thinking of how much sense it made.
SpotOn

Conclusion:

This book is chocked full of good information and is really easy to read.
It makes a lot of sense and I recommend it to parents, Or older siblings.
