    This book has some great reminders of how to approach children and applicable to the classroom. It was a bit long winded and boring at times, but the overall message was well worth the read.

    Honest review- I haven’t read the whole thing but skimmed though. I foresee this book being really helpful in designing trainings for adults working with youth. A bit tricky to find key points, but the messages are solid and lots of examples that mirror real life in schools.

    Good reminder of an approach and style that kids respond to and learn from. Keeping it simple with basic framework that can use as guides to instructing in both formal and informal settings.

    So inspiring! Literally could not put the book down! Could have done without the last chapter, though. Not enough of Fred Rogers as in the other chapters. Learned a great deal more about the man.

    This book is an excellent read for parents and educators. A Mr. Rogers example, backed by science, and practical application. I like how each chapter ends with some highlighted what you might do to encourage some very necessary skills for children.
