Raised with Praise

This book is a tribute to my parents, Martha and Coyne Callaghan. I felt compelled to write this book because I believe their approach to raising children is something special and should be shared with the world. Writing this book with my parents has been one of the most gratifying and enjoyable experiences of my life. It is an inspirational story about my experiences growing up and how my parents shaped my life!

In this Inspirational book "Raised With Praise: How My Parents Made Me a Happy Soul," Callaghan uses humor, inspirational stories from his past and present to suggest to readers that the key to raising happy, well-adjusted, kind, compassionate children is to "raise them with praise," in an environment free from criticism and condemnation. Raised with PRAISE is an inspirational story about raising kids in a positive light. Calling the book a tribute to his parents, Martha and Coyne Callaghan, he said, "Their approach to raising children is something special and should be shared with the world." This must read book will warm the hearts of any reader with it's inspiring stories of family and friends.This book is for all the parents who were once children and ultimately the children who will one day become parents. My goal for writing this book is on a grand scale. I want to enhance the circle of life, in a positive way, for many generations to come. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the book and it puts a smile on your face and happiness in your heart!
