From Rogers Cable Television, Brampton, Ontario, Canada
"...Parents, the book you have always been waiting for has finally arrived. Barbara Joy Clarke wrote this book for the benefit of all parents, regardless of race or religion..."

From Mr. Wicks, a father of six children, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada
"...Your book is a well written, practical book filled with sound advice that reminds us of moral standards and values often abandoned or forgotten by society. Yet these principles are the foundation of strong families and society. If every person responsible for the rearing of a child would put this advice into practice, our children would be better equipped to deal with the pressures of everyday living..."

From Mrs. Eggleston, Producer, STORKNET, California, USA

"...Thank you for the book! It came a few days ago and I've been browsing through it. I think it is a wonderful guide and I like the size and binding. It's perfect for putting in a purse or briefcase and taking along wherever. It feels good in my hands, like a handbook. Something special about this book is that it is simple and no-nonsense. It says it like it is, and doesn't take 47 paragraphs to get there. As a mother of grown children, I have to agree that most mothers don't have time to sit down to a novel to get some direction and find inner faith in what they are doing. They want simple, clear cut guidance..."

From Bev Qualheim from The Family.Com, Nevada, USA

"Barbara Joy Clarke's book 'How to Have Amazing Kids' is truly an amazing book for parents. I love the format that is set up in pages from A to Z where she expounds upon various valuable traits parents can and should, instill in their children. A is for Accountability, B is for Boundaries, C is for Character...and so forth. Another very enlightening chapter is "G is for Giving". This book is full of so much wisdom and practical ways to teach our children to be GOOD citizens of the world, that it is one that would make a precious and valued gift for every new parent. I remember thinking that I wished new babies came with an owners manual - well, this book just might be it!"

From Shannan Hearne, Single Parent and President of Success Promotions, Clover, South Carolina, USA
Barbara Joy Clarke's book, How to Have Amazing Kids, is not only one of the best parenting guides I've ever read, but also one of the easiest to digest and put into practice. Winner of the National and International Parent to Parent "Adding Wisdom" Award, this is an important addition to every parents' library.

A recent kids' video, Kids for Character, stresses the need for having the pillars of character which include: citizenship, responsibility, caring, and respect; just to name a few. Ms. Clarke's book gives a simple action plan for developing character in our children and raising children we can be proud of. Many a mom or dad have lamented that their babies didn't come with operator's manuals. Including me. Barbara Clarke has written the manual that every hospital, nurse, and midwife should include with the bundle of joy they deliver. Making sense of our parenting responsibilities is one of those things we tend to just not have time to do. What with changing diapers, washing hands, feeding, clothing, and bathing our new charges; sleep goes by the wayside. Who has time to think analytically those first months or even years? Barbara has taken the guesswork out of parenting and laid out a straight forward plan to help all parents excel at parenting.

One of the pieces too often missing in parenting manuals is real world life examples. Sure, they tell us what to do, but not how to do it or when to do it. Ms. Clarke's book is chock full of examples that will empower parents to be strong and successful when the going gets tough.

And over time, the principles of this book will keep the tough times to a minimum.

While no book can guarantee class valedictorians or stellar athletes, this book is a pretty sure fire way to have children who are stars in their own rights and who succeed in life no matter what they choose to do.

You can obtain Ms. Clarke's book online at www.guideyourchildren.com. You will be glad you did. And patiently awaiting a sequel. Perhaps next, Barbara can take on the world of being amazing adults. For those of us who's parents didn't have her parenting manual when we were children.
