KIDPOWER BOOK FOR CARING ADULTS
How to Teach Self-Protection and Confidence Skills to Young People
Comments from Readers
From the creator of the University of Mom website, an on-line networking forum to empower and connect mothers, Sandy Christensen:
“The KIDPOWER™ Book for Caring Adults is one of the most exciting parenting books I’ve read. I found the ideas and skills highly motivating and useful in preparing me to teach my children how to use their power in ways that helped them right away. My three-year-old used the KIDPOWER fence and words to stop a boy at the park who was being unkind to her friend. By taking charge, she was able to turn around what had started an upsetting experience and ended up with a game in which my daughter, this boy and her friend were all able to play happily. My eleven-year-old used the skills to speak up with his friends who were acting like bullies. I even told a friend of mine who was having trouble at work how to advocate for herself. If every parent and teacher were to read this book, I truly believe that much of the violence we see in today’s world would come to an end.”
From the mother of two school-aged children:
"I am so moved by your generosity in publishing this book. I LOVE it! I have been teaching my own kids using it as a guide. It seems that you are giving the gift of the whole KIDPOWER program to each person who buys this book, and to the children who will benefit. What a wonderful thing you have done!"
From Loureen Giordano in Bay Area Parent, October 2007
“The 607-page book, highlighted with photos, sketches and break-out boxes has an easy, conversational style. Van der Zande illustrates her points with personal experiences and practical tips, lifting them from the theoretical and placing them squarely into the doable. Despite the serious content, The KIDPOWER Book is far from a heavy, fear-inducing read. Van der Zande shows adults how to instill confidence in children without transferring their worries to them.”
From Kate Brophy, editor of supernanny.us.com
“What a fantastic resource the Kidpower book is! It should be required reading for every parent and teacher. I can’t believe the breadth of advice and the depth of insight… it’s a great achievement!”
