About the Book

I wanted to write this children's book for parents to understand the importance of teaching positive affirmations to their children at the most informative and influential period of a child's brain development. By teaching these positive virtues and characteristics it gives your child a better chance than not to grow up with self confidence, respect for others, enjoying school, a good work ethic and a positive attitude than will increase your child's chances of enjoying a successful life.

About the Author

My name is Tom Guerrieri and I'm a former Athlete and Executive. I was inspired to write this children's book in memory of my father Orlando Guerrieri. He was both inspirational and influential in my success as a former Athlete and Executive. When I was 4-5yrs old back in the 60's my father owned a franchise called Success Motivation Institute where he would teach organizations and companies how to be successful. As I palled around with my father and listened to him speak or read phrases on his flip chart like "Achieve and Believe" "Never Give Up" or "Believe In Yourself". Little did I know those subconscious words would play a vital role in my athletic and professional career down the road. I found out later in life that the most influential time for a child's brain development was from the ages of 0-6 yrs old. It was during those influential years that those positive words would later play out in my life. I can look back on my life and thank my father for teaching me these essential principals for living a positive, successful and happy life.
