Zig Ziglar on raising positive kids

I first heard Zig Ziglar on Dr. Dobson's radio show Focus on the Family.  He was talking about his book, Raising Positive Kids in a Negative World.  Our first child was just an infant and I remember Zig talked about the important of affirming your child.

He said parents should let their kids know that they think they are a winner.  I did that everyday when they went to bed.

I was reminded of that when I received Zig's e-mail newsletter this morning where the quote on the top of the page is:

"When you put faith, hope and love together you can raise positive kids in a negative world."
--Zig Ziglar

All I can say is Amen.  That's some of the best advice I ever got about raising a child.  By the way, I do feel that both of my kids are winners.    And, I praise God for that.  It was him and not me.
