"There is no foolproof method of raising confident, helpful, and trustworthy children, but Karen Wiesner has come close to providing parents with one.

"Wiesner's book TAKING RESPONSIBILITY BUILDS TRUST gives children and parents the opportunity to interact while raising questions within the child. It is an interactive story from the "Making Good Choices Series." This book is complete with full-color illustrations. The author wrote this book to provide parents and children with the ways to work together. Reb Raccoon, the mascot, talks directly to the reader, gives instructions on how to use the book, and adds a cool, up-to-date style to an
instructive book.

"Times today are different for children today. In general, at one time or another, your child will
have to make a hard decision. They don't have the freedom their parents had growing up, and this
changes the way children think about our society, freedom, and self-exploration. This causes
hardships between kids and their parents, which makes it harder to teach them how to make good
choices. Trust is one of those. Parents must teach their children how to trust, as well as teaching them the importance of having others trust them.

"Within Wiesner's book are sections such as "Plant a seed" and "Gold Star." These sections allow the children to learn more about responsibility, trust, and gives suggestions on how to fill yourself and your parents with pride.
"This reviewer thoroughly enjoyed reading this book to her children, and plans to read it often.
Good job-can't wait for the next book in the series."
