Why Is It Vital and Valuable for Parents?

Many Children Won't Hear this Message in Their Lifetime...

...because, many parents don't have or
don't know how to say these words.

Be mindful of the voice you use to speak to children, for in time it becomes the voice they use to speak to themselves.

This book is
an intentional,
actionable, and
emotionally impactful way
to form a long lasting voice of empowering self-worth.Your voice and these words will be
foundational in your child's character development,
as you repeat them through their
childhood, adolescents
and teenage years.
Your child will carry them
into life's challenging moments .

More reasons this keepsake is Vital and Valuable for Parents

  • Your child sees diversity in the faces of children from around the world, (and my friends can become yours...)

such as Jenny from Germany 🇩🇪,
Jun from South Korea 🇰🇷,
Tafari from Ethiopia 🇪🇹
Jessica from USA 🇺🇸 or
Sergio from Brazil 🇧🇷...

...because every child has a name, and every child has a place.

  • Through a repeated mantra you reaffirm your child's identity, self-image, and worthiness on every single page.

  • Your child records their identity and 'milestone values in action' in elementary school, middle school and graduation for later reflection to help them see their own growth.

  • Through reflection, they see their unchanging worthiness at each stage of their past life, giving evidence for unchanging worthiness for their future life.

How long before we see the effects?

When Can a Parent Expect Results?

The first time, you read the first line—

"I'm so delighted you exist...

you'll share the unique sensation found in the soothing voice of a loved one comforting and connecting with a child in words of affirmation.

You can expect more results:...each night you read these words with your child, creating a strong emotional bond to engrain this worthy message....each moment your child reads and reflects on these words and reaffirms their own worthiness of being....in elementary, middle, and high school when your child gets to write their identity, place their picture and commit to their values in action....when your child grows and leaves your house to go into 'the real world', you'll have peace of mind knowing you've instilled words to protect them from self-doubt....as your child navigates life as an adult and they've built an emotional connection with your words and voice.

Why is this valuable for children?

How is This Book Unique for Your Child...

This is a keepsake for your child to carry through their adulthood and use for self-reflection when they face life's inevitable
- pain,
- uncertainties, and
- hard-work.The last pages ask your child life's question of Identity, "Who Are You?"
They'll record it now, because it'll have meaning in time.At a young age, this book introduces your child to
- self-awareness,
- identity exploration and
- acting from their virtues and values.

What's the alternative?

  • Children's stories that try to have a somewhat indirect moral stance that you may or may not agree with.

  • Children's books that tell a good story, but your child doesn't see themself, friends or family in the pages.

  • Children's books without any personalized significance that clutter the bookshelf and are easily given away when your child grows older.

Is there more than this?

The Dear Child Series

In the future,
the only certainty is change.

Your child will have a choice...
to see change as
a threat or as an opportunity;
to experience change and
be bitter or be better.The words and practice of these books are
purposeful and intentional
to create the character
to heroically meet
those changes
and show up
to take
the right action
for their individual and
society's collective flourishing.

How do you create
a certain future for your child?

With words —

intentional words shared
during their most formative years,
while you still have their undivided attention...
(...before it's fractured by the 'attention economy') and
they still have a high degree of
"knowing, trusting, and liking you..."...you speak to their:

  • Being — You Are Worthy of Being (1 of 5)

  • Body — You Are Wonderfully Made (2 of 5)

  • Ability — You Are Loved and Supported (3 of 5)

  • Past Story — You Are from a Rich Heritage (4 of 5)

  • Future Story — You Are Hope for the Future (5 of 5)

A simple message,
of the right words
at the right moment,
can create the right action...

...and echo into
the eternity of a lifetime.
