This book will emphasize the different ways that adults can make difference in the lives of children so that today’s children will be well nurtured and will become effective citizens in future. The structure of the book is adapted to the new Early Childhood Common Core.
We have two choices when it comes to today's youth. We can either do what we can to help them navigate through life, or we can sit back and complain about how they are so disrespectful, lost and hopeless. With this book, I am only trying to do my part to help our youth succeed and become productive citizens of BOTH God's Kingdom and our society. Handpicked to Serve #TheKing is based on Daniel 1: 1-5. I believe that if we spend time with our youth and teach and model leadership skills and competencies to them that they will be equipped to serve #THEKING! Each lesson is Holy Spirit inspired, biblically based and centered around characters in the Bible. The lessons are structured so that they are easy to teach and easy to understand. The Scriptures are included with each lesson for those youth who do not have access to a Bible. Youth will be challenged to write what they learned from the scriptures relating that lesson to today, and then share how they will apply it to their lives.
Today’s youth are tomorrow’s leaders. The better they can understand themselves and work effectively with others, the greater impact they can make on the world around them. Based on research from the Center for Creative Leadership, Social-Emotional Leadership: A Guide for Youth Development identifies 14 student leadership attributes and offers tools for adults to use to develop social-emotional leadership in youth inside and outside the classroom. Social-Emotional Leadership: Reflection Journal, a blank companion journal for students is also available. ISBN 978-1-60491-987-5
Embrace Your Chance to Shape the Future. As the world changes faster each day, so do our youth. Cell phones, email, texting, the internet, and a host of other technologies make today's kids smarter...and in some ways harder to guide toward good choices. It's enough to make any adult throw up their hands in despair. But with issues of violence, drugs, sex and others that children and youth are exposed to on a daily basis, giving up is simply not an option. In Influencing Today's Youth: Shaping the Behaviors, Expectations, and Aspirations of Tomorrow's Leaders, author Danita Johnson Hughes, Ph.D., shares powerful principles that will help adults influence today's youth to rise above adversity, navigate through societal and peer pressure, and make smarter choices in all aspects of life. Whether you're a parent, teacher, childcare worker, youth coach, social worker, psychologist, youth service worker, or youth advocate, you'll discover how you can be a positive influence in the lives of tomorrow's leaders...today.

This thought-provoking book stresses the importance of including our children as partners, welcoming their input and feelings when troubleshooting home and school challenges. Today's children need to be raised in an environment of empowerment, of making decisions based on their core values, practicing the skills of leadership and the power of choice. Our children also need to understand how to show kindness and compassion, positivity, and gratitude during their growing years. These problem-solving approaches will create a wonderful foundation for a child's understanding of who they are, their potentials, and what they can achieve. Raising Self-Reliant Children is divided into three sections to provide an improved awareness of parenting and educational choices: core values for successful decisions, recognizing the toxic components which influence the hyperactive child, as well as a monthly calendar outlining strategies to address challenges which many children are faced with during the school year.
