Korie Robertson is the wife of Willie Robertson and they
both star on the hit TV show Duck Dynasty. In Strong and Kind, Korie Robertson has
written a brand new book about instilling positive characters traits into your
children’s lives. She shared the powerful truth found in scriptures such as in
Proverbs 3:1-2. This verse talks about the importance of keeping God’s
teachings in our hearts and in our children’s hearts. God promises to give us
long life and peace and prosperity if we follow his commands. Korie suggests
parents choose two key critical character traits that they want their children
to follow in their lives. Some of these traits include, “honest, loving, kind,
loyal, persistent, encouraging, trustworthy”, and much more. Each chapter also
includes some thoughts from Willie Robertson.
One of my favorite chapters was entitled, “Self-Controlled”.
This chapter discussed how vital it is to manage your self-control and how we
can also be an example of this trait in front of our children. Korie shared how
putting into place boundaries and greatly benefit our children. She explored
how Adam and Eve struggled with God’s boundaries and not eating the forbidding
fruit. They didn’t display self-control against temptation and ate the food and
they sinned. This is why as parents we must teach our children self-control
against all the temptations they may encounter. I have personally seen the
benefits of setting boundaries in place and displaying self-control.
I would recommend this awesome book to every single parent
and future parent. I have always enjoyed watching Duck Dynasty and I strongly
believe Willie and Korie live what they preach. I liked how Korie covered many
different character traits throughout the book and she devoted a chapter to
each trait. I liked how she gave parents the freedom to discuss the different
traits they want to pass down to their kids. I’m not a parent yet or even
married but I choose to read and review this book in order to already begin to
prepare for having children. After reading this book, I would choose strong and
self-control as the traits I would want my children to live by. Obviously these
two traits could change because this is a book I will eventually reread with my
future wife, whoever she is. If you’re seeking an excellent book on parenting,
then read this book!
