The tile of Jill Rigby’s new book says it all. Amidst a society-wide preoccupation with consumerism, studies showing that today’s kids are more spoiled and less responsible than ever, and too many parents never taking the time to teach their children the word “no,” it has become difficult to raise kids who are caring, productive, and kind. Through her own experiences as a mom as well as her work with parents and children, Rigby created this guide that will help parents everywhere teach their kids what’s important while protecting them from becoming selfish. Although the book includes a number of religious messages, which may not appeal to all readers, those who are in line with Rigby’s beliefs or are just strongly dedicated to raising more generous and gracious children will find a wealth of helpful advice in Raising Unselfish Children in a Self-Absorbed World. With useful tips broken down by your child’s age group, personal anecdotes and stories of other families you will relate to, and a lot of encouragement, this book is a great resource for the difficult process of teaching our children to focus on others rather than on themselves. Rigby even includes a list of movies your family can watch together, along with follow-up questions to prompt discussions and help teach valuable lessons. Raising Unselfish Children in a Self-Absorbed World is a guide you’ll turn to again and again for its simple message and practical guidance.
