Adventure, Boredom, Innocence and Other Gifts Children Need
Eleven chapters address eleven gifts we can give our kids: adventure, boredom, being uncool, imagination, balance, grit, manners/kindness, family, innocence and faith. Each chapter has an introductory essay followed by at least three other essays that support the topic. Laced with humor and genuiness, readers will make an immediate connection with Mrs. Smartt. Her suggestions are counterculture but will benefit children and family.
Her use of "darn", "heck" and "crap" grated me. I am not offended when people say those words. However, I see them as wasted words and not necessary for the essay format.
