"I feel more comfortable and confident as a parent in realizing that I am not able to change the nature of my children. I must respect them for who and what they are (their individualism). I however, as a parent can guide them, provide opportunity and be a role model within my own behaviour to help them achieve their maximum potential and self-confidence.

Jacqui's E- Book Building Self Esteem in Children has not only tuned me into what my goals are with regard to raising my two children but has also provided techniques to help motivate my children to achieve theirs."

"This is the type of literature that all parents can relate to as it highlights real situations that we all experience. It is also a great, humorous read that everyone can understand with practical advice that is very achievable."

" Anyone with children knows the ups and downs of parenthood. Without any formal training in how to raise a child, we are guided by instinct and our own upbringing to teach our children the right lessons in life, forming well balanced, happy and secure individuals.

This is where So You Want To Raise a Remarkable Human Being, by Jacqui Snider provides parents with an opportunity to sit down and discuss with their children how to improve behaviour, cope with sibling rivalry and put into action various methods to achieve harmony in the home and confident, loving children.

Jacqui's concepts confirm that every child is different and needs love, warmth and respect in a caring, nurturing environment. This e-Book will benefit any parent and is a valuable addition to the learning of raising a child."

Testimonial from the handywork of the author herself!

Hi, I am Jacqui's 14-year-old daughter. I wanted to tell you about my Mum, from a kid's perspective!

I think that my mum is one the top mums there are. While keeping our household from chaos she still manages to share a special bond with my brother, my sister and I individually. She always makes each of us feel just as special in our own way. She always encourages us to do our best, but never pushes us into doing something we don't want to do.

We have all benefited from her help and with her help, we have all found the areas in which we perform best. From there we can work to being the best people we can possibly be.

Having a unique bond with each of us three children is no easy task. We are all very different, each of us having very different needs, ranging from sympathy to discipline. I have always looked up to my mum, and have admired her patience, tolerance and logic. My mum can always make room in her busy timetable for us and is always there when we need her most, while (as always) encouraging us to be independent.

Most of the choices we make are ours alone with just the right amount of guidance. Unless it threatens our safety, we are free to make our own mistakes and learn from them. Again, we are all different, so mum allows us different degrees of independence, gauging it so that a show of maturity increases that allowance of independence while immaturity limits it.

Mum's first priority is always to keep us going in the right direction, but to teach us how to be independent so that when the time comes for us to be on our own, we will be able to stand proudly on our own two feet.
