"At age twenty-eight, I married a widower and father of six
children. Despite my experience as a teacher, I felt overwhelmed,
trying to understand seven different personalities all at once. I
leaned heavily on the information about the different character
tree types in Growing Kids with Character. I absolutely love how
the descriptions allow me to visualize and remember what each
character type embodies as we navigate this journey we are on. I
strongly encourage anyone, especially parents in blended families,
to read what Hettie has written. This knowledge empowers and brings
light where we cannot see the way."
--Chani Zimmerman
"For the last three decades I have worked closely with kids of
various ages in various countries--as a teacher, an aunt, a youth
group leader, and in a leadership role with Compassion
International. I wish I had had access to Hettie's insights through
Growing Kids with Character years ago! It would have been a helpful
lens into the souls of the kids who crossed my path. Whether you're
a parent or not, if you regularly work with children, this book is
a must-read."
--Adele Booysen DMin, chief adventure guide at BlueThread.Life
"Relationships! Life hinges on relationship with God and man. I
have seen families being transformed when parents understand the
need-behaviors of their children, and learn to adapt and respond to
these needs. Hettie Brittz has developed a psychometric tool that
succinctly aligns child behaviors to tree images, to help parents
and children understand the dynamics of intra- and interpersonal
relationships for life."
--Dr. Khoo Oon Theam
"This phenomenal book combines authenticity from an author who
lives out the wisdom she offers, practical help that takes into
account the uniqueness of your family, and a healthy dose of grace,
because none of us have it all perfectly worked out and yet our
heavenly Father loves us unconditionally."
--Graeme Schnell, CEO of Focus on the Family Africa
"While I can safely claim that the content of this book rescued me
from a number of parenting blunders, it also enriched my work with
parents and children. Hettie Brittz offers creative and spot-on
explanations for challenging parent-child interactions, and her
discipline advice lends itself to a balanced approach to childhood
development. Hettie manages to make the journey both light and
deep--pointing you to the mileposts of good communication and
effective behavior management, while keeping your sanity about
you."
--Professor Rika Swanzen, PhD
