PEARL GIRLS in the News ... Kendra Smiley's latest release!

Just in time for those Mothers with a strong-willed child -- this is for you!


“Aaron, you will not win,” says his father. “I will be with you every step of the way and you will not win.”

Why did Aaron want to win and control his world?

Because he was a strong-willed child.

When parents are raising a strong-willed child, they need to know that they don’t have to take this journey alone. In their updated book, JOURNEY OF A STRONG-WILLED CHILD, authors and speakers Kendra and John Smiley share the story of their second son’s development, offering advice and encouragement for parents blessed with a strong-willed child of their own. And in a particularly insightful twist, Aaron – now a responsible adult and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine —adds his own comments to his parents’ wisdom.

“What is difficult for most people to understand is the motivation of a strong-willed child,” writes Aaron, reflecting on the scene on the stairs. “The strong-willed child may choose the stated punishment in order to be in control, especially if the child considers the punishment moderate.”

Is it possible that a child’s behavior can actually be predictable? That others have gone before and lived to tell about it? That a strong-willed child can one day mature into a contributing member of society? The answer to those questions, according to Kendra, John, and Aaron Smiley is a resounding “Yes!”

JOURNEY OF A STRONG-WILLED CHILD will arm parents with the encouragement and wisdom they need to meet the challenges of raising a strong-willed child. From pre-kindergarten to college, JOURNEY OF A STRONG-WILLED CHILD addresses each stage of a child’s development and offers proven advice, accompanied by a myriad of delightful anecdotes. Along the way, you’ll gain a new understanding of your child’s heart and a renewed sense of gratitude for the special person God created him to be. Engaging, insightful, and irresistible, it is a book that will touch your family for years to come.





About the Smiley's: Kendra and John Smiley live on a working farm in Central Illinois. They have three grown sons and are thrilled to be grandparents. Kendra and John have authored books and spoken together for several years. Their latest book, Journey of a Strong-Willed Child, was released in January 2009. Kendra and John host “Parenting Like a Pro” radio program and have a regular monthly column called “Family Matters” in Prairie Farmer magazine.



Kendra, a former Illinois Mother of the Year, hosts a daily radio program, Live Life Intentionally, and speaks nationally and internationally. John, retired USAF Reserves Colonel now farms in addition to writing and speaking.
