Shines the Light of Transformation

for the

Future of Tomorrow

Parenting expert, award winning author, and founder of Manners of the Heart, Jill Rigby Garner, shatters the mirror and places families in front of the window, shining the light of transformation for generations to come. Recent news supports Jill and her belief that the experts of our society have had the self-esteem epidemic wrong for the past twenty years: in order to be self-sufficient, contributing members of society, our children need self-respect rather than being spoon-fed self-esteem.

In her second parenting book, Raising Unselfish Children in a Self-Absorbed World, Jill teaches parents that when they lead their children to look out the window of life, they are able to see a reflection of themselves and into the world beyond.  Her concepts coach parents how to gently “bump” children off self-center and instill in them an others-centered heart and a healthy self-respect. As the sun begins to warm the months of the spring and summer, you can begin warming the hearts of your children in the following ways:

• Designate at least one meal each week during the month to work on table manners. Get the children involved with setting the table, if they’re not already doing it.
• Teach that generosity is the outward expression of the condition of the heart. Children who give freely have hearts filled with the right stuff.
• Encourage the simple pleasures: Make homemade gifts for each other. Play games rather than rent a movie. Spend the night in the backyard as an adventure at home.
• Require your children to purchase their “wants” with extra money that they earn for doing chores. This not only instills gratitude, but also builds self-respect.
• Let your child see you offer a helpful hand to your spouse when he or she is overwhelmed with a commitment.

Filled with a contagious passion that fills the hearts of all the people she touches, Jill is determined to teach future generations to lead the world by example.
