LOVE THIS BOOK! If you’re a Christian mama searching for ideas on navigating a good familial structure, how to discipline with love, ensuring faith into your tribe and laughing along the way READ THIS! Jessica makes you feel like you’re sitting down chatting with her about mom life and gives you a good sense of humor along the way. When people say “I wish kids came with a handbook”…. Well, here ya go! Here’s your handbook!

This book was refreshing, challenging, humorous, inspiring, and empowering. As a mom of younger children, it helped me to be forward thinking about intentionally shaping my children's childhoods. I hadn't thought about many of the upcoming issues of middle to older childhood in their entirety and the author guided us through those well. She was quick to offer her own experiences as a child and mother and her own perspective, but also left it open to readers to make choices regarding the various aspects of raising children in this age. She was truth telling, yet humble. She made you laugh out loud and also addressed some serious aspects of the transition from childhood to becoming teenagers.

I recently watched A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, where Tom Hanks played Mister Rogers, and it was so evident that Fred Rogers loved children, childhood, and valuing children in general. It is also clear that the author of Let Them Be Kids loves kids as well and values childhood. She greatly desires it to be a life-giving time for children and parents as well.

I am glad she wrote this book and that I read it as a young mom.

I really enjoyed reading this book while I was pregnant with my first little one! She talks about many different aspects of childhood and how important it is to let your kids grow at their own pace with guidance from their parents. It is so important for little ones to have time to learn thing on their own but have structure so they are safe while doing so.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommend!!
Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2020
I felt extremely motivated both during and after reading this book. Motivated & inspired to be more engaged, aware, proactive, creative, protective but also adventurous with my kids. It was a strong reminder that their time under our roof is so short but incredibly important. And during these impressionable years we can model and encourage healthy habits, behaviors and skills that will only better equip them to be higher functioning members of society as adults one day. Jessica approaches this book with a tone of humility & humor. I felt I could relate to her on a lot of different levels. I highly recommend this book to any parent!
