Chicken Soup for the Soul: Think Positive for Kids

chicken soup for the soul think positive for kids
101 Stories about Good Decisions, Self-Esteem, and Positive Thinking


Give a child gifts that will last a lifetime — self-esteem, tolerance, values, and inner strength. The values that children learn today will stay with them for the rest of their lives. This collection gives kids positive role models to follow in its 101 stories about doing the right thing and making healthy choices. You and your child will enjoy discussing the stories, making it a family event. Great for teachers to share with students too.

I started reading this book with my seven year old son last night. After the first story, he asked me to keep reading, so that’s always a good sign! I did find that with the stories we read the authors still used some pretty big words making them not entirely ‘little kid’ friendly in that sense. My son still grasped the meaning of the story and we spend some time talking about the messages afterwards. Don’t give up, dream big, try hard….all good themes for kids to hear. It’s definitely a good book to keep on the shelf for when kids are going through a tough time, hearing stories of how other kids overcame obstacles is a great for kids of all ages!

  15. Darlene Schuller says

    Well, I started with mine when they started school, asking lots of questions. As they’ve gotten older, I’ve had to rely on their comfort level and the quality of the advice I give, to carry us over from one episode to another. I think it’s important to establish an open line of communication when they are very young. If not, you’ve no hope in having one at all when their 13.

    I do not know how this started, but it always works. When one of the kids have had a bad day, I offer them a banana. When they are telling me about something that make them mad or sad, I will get a banana from the kitchen and say ‘Here, have a banana.’. They always laugh and things are immediately better. I am not sure how or why it works, but it does! Thanks for the great giveaway opportunity. Keep up the terrific blogging.

  31. Let them vent and talk through what they could have done differently or different choices they could have made.
