The Three Little Pigs . . .
It is one of the world’s most beloved fairy tales. And it contains a simple yet powerful message. The third little pig triumphs over the big bad wolf ~ through confidence, resourcefulness and courage. But how can we apply these lessons to helping children in today’s world?
Dr. Messenger outlines the “secrets” of the third little pig for all caregivers: Parents, grandparents, educators, and others. She shows adults how to help children develop inner strength and resilience ~ the ability to handle challenges of an increasingly difficult world. The book features helpful tips and real-life anecdotes that have an immediate impact.
Perhaps the greatest reviews come from parents who tell her: “I’ve always loved my kid, but with your book, it’s the first time in years I’ve really liked him.” And “It’s the only parenting book my husband would actually read.” It has even been compared to TV: It can be turned on (opened up) randomly, and something of interest will show up. It entertains and advises yet has plenty of commercials (cartoons and children’s drawings).
Perhaps the most dubious distinction, remarked on by a number of people, is that Secrets of the Third Little Pig makes great bathroom reading material. But who cares! If that’s where busy people have a few extra minutes to read, what counts is that they use the information to enhance children’s lives.
