Caring is a word that holds the key to life going well, and is the real heart of being human. This book shows you how to foster it. </p><p>"Susy Lee's book is one of those rare ones you want to have at hand long term, as even dipping in seems to spark you with ideas and clues for really engaging with your children. What to ask, what to challenge them with, what to provoke them with. It covers a lot but enter at any point and there is something you can use."</p><p><em>-</em><strong><em> Steve Biddulph</em></strong><em>, Parenting expert and best-selling author of Raising Girls and Raising Boys.</em></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>This is a brilliant book. I just wish it had been around when my own children were younger!</p><p>It is a treasure trove of insight, information and inspiration; with excellent questions and ideas for deepening the conversations in families, helping them to become rich places for the exploration of deep values and character formation. Every parent needs it in hand. - <strong>Tim Costello AO, </strong>Former CEO and Chief Advocate, World Vision Australia</p><p><br></p><p>This remarkable book is about hope that change is possible. As a caring parent, an inspiring practitioner with a deep sense of social justice, and a brilliant peace scholar, the author invites us on the journey of nurturing hope in the world, one family at a time. I cannot wait to delve into each of the 40 family conversations in this book with my family. - <strong>Dr Dong Jin Kim</strong>, Senior Research Fellow in Peace and Reconciliation Studies, Trinity College, Dublin</p><p><br></p><p>Wise, warm, imaginative and intensely practical ... <em>Raising Kids Who Care </em>is like a blueprint for building strong families and caring communities. Highly recommended for anyone who cares about the future of our children and our society. - <strong>Hugh Mackay AO, </strong>Psychologist, social researcher and bestselling author</p><p><br></p><p>I confess to being tired of books of parenting advice. After reading through the usual list of do's and don'ts the only thing most of us can agree on is that we don't make the grade. Susy Lee's approach is different. She offers a way of parenting that feels authentic, achievable and, most importantly, could really make a difference to the world. She offers hope, encouragement and practical wisdom to every hard-pressed and bewildered parent who yearns to speak to their kids about what really matters. - <strong>Dr Roger Bretherton</strong>, Associate Professor and Clinical Psychologist</p><p><br></p><p>Our world and most importantly our children are being bombarded in every aspect of their life. As parents and carers an enabling environment to create kids who care has never been harder or more important. Susy Lee's <em>Raising Kids Who Care</em> provides a formulaic, data driven approach supported by a workbook for all readers including the kids! Read it and then practice so you and your clan can enable the difference we all yearn for - generational improvement. - <strong>Karen James</strong>, CEO Business for Development, Author and Advocate for Women</p><p><br></p><p>I am stunned by the level of thought Susy Lee has put into this book. It is going to be a treasured title that doesn't sit on the shelves gathering dust but instead turns up on dining tables or kitchen benches, dog-eared and loved. Loved because children will come away feeling heard and appreciated, their opinions sought, and an increased sense of belonging. Loved because adults will burst with pride in response to their children's suggestions and insights. - <strong>Jo Hood, </strong>CEO, mainly Ministries, (NZ, Aus, UK)</p><p><br></p><p>Not content to let Instagram and Netflix raise our children, Susy Lee has written a brilliant guidebook that helps kids to put down their screens and dive into deep family conversations about critical social issues. If you want your family to care more about others, social justice, the planet, and culture in general, use this book! It's fun, practical, inspiring, and it might just change the world! - <strong>Michael Frost</strong>, Morling College, Sydney</p><p> </p><p>Thought-provoking and fun ... <strong> </strong>really helped our family to have important and meaningful conversations about our opinions and world views. - <strong>Alanah</strong>, 14 and <strong>Jayden</strong>, 16</p><p><br></p><br>
