These questions are posed to help develop independence within school-aged children by giving them a safe space to have their own judgment for various situations.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Struggling as a parent herself, Moog was inspired to start having regular family discussions with her children after playing an open-ended question game, Scruples, with her friends. Moog soon implemented regular discussion questions with her family at the dinner table and found that her children enjoyed these questions and even started to ask their own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moog, with her own family, has proven how effective this communication tactic can be and hopes to help other parents raise children with good character and strong morals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFood for Thought\u201d also contains discussion questions centered around faith, to help instill Christian values within children and encourage them to think about life with God in mind. This book can help parents raise children with integrity, courage and a Christ-centered mindset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn such uncertain cultural climates, my book can help parents, who desperately wish to raise children with strong character, discuss important issues impacting our world,\u201d said Moog. \u201cI hope to help them raise confident, faith-centered children.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the discussion questions presented in \u201cFood for Thought,\u201d parents are given the opportunity to both listen to their children\u2019s perspectives and provide their own wisdom in a respectful manner, creating not only a dialogue between family members but also an optimal platform for parents to impart important family values.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About The Book:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFood for Thought: Raising Confident Kids One Conversation at a Time\u201d<br>By\u00a0Kim Moog<br>ISBN:\u00a0978-1-9736-9646-9 (softcover); 978-1-9736-9647-6 (e-book)<br>Available at the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/link.mediaoutreach.meltwater.com\/ls\/click?upn=AlH1yS0uSiq1JGVPtfLo2T7fwTITn6RqquUsyo-2BB5MizEY36Yl7qozIYHtZwcaZChJRkdHgJYI7rxWWxCOUSALyu-2Fj0vmK41rV6ES45rSbOxA4h3l8KEFI9zB9n-2B-2BW6K7Jql_nEIm22qrbApkxslBlN0c5wQHpuBv4jK4UE4A4XJ0KISYcCI3I5k0PDDxOlupU3G4M6l0xt7oW7I7y7qQzeQhqEMZUfAXZD8jn1IEYWeG81Qtct1lOFOY1RxToTwrAXo6a1RTrCbvlYLbKOkcdiVA97cxfFGuyTtBWfSpl6DOyYLFxRwmTe1WVpeexIxDfotgbU9zDDrDC4Abi1Yol2bWZR5Oqrk9Sbg504Lc3YJh3-2F4BQwi9WS0eim8g-2B0Ru74HkWvZ0rzZlTUHnidfN8Aluf-2F2KSQ1o2-2FTrNEXgUoqyIsevChBpBq7S8TY7Ec-2B4Oa0-2FTmRvW6ZtU-2FTS-2Frmwq7mVyPNn-2F-2BT-2BmFIFh4Ep8jYLtkwcFTmr1qjnqhgwg9Xtvb4F6vY7eEh3c6hEDqgWIM7C9w7XKYgxRa03l4joNGZbMtY-3D\">WestBow Press Online Bookstore<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/link.mediaoutreach.meltwater.com\/ls\/click?upn=AlH1yS0uSiq1JGVPtfLo2VLO-2F5gL5nSVYKMcFBgyjrk9aF7aI-2F8aHo8wH2oeq7O-2FDxTk5vNK5ybncSUqNEywJVM-2FvxGlcHR0DQ2jFIECkqON9dJrjI3WPbuuhgh49UOYHZXY_nEIm22qrbApkxslBlN0c5wQHpuBv4jK4UE4A4XJ0KISYcCI3I5k0PDDxOlupU3G4M6l0xt7oW7I7y7qQzeQhqEMZUfAXZD8jn1IEYWeG81Qtct1lOFOY1RxToTwrAXo6a1RTrCbvlYLbKOkcdiVA97cxfFGuyTtBWfSpl6DOyYLFxRwmTe1WVpeexIxDfotgbU9zDDrDC4Abi1Yol2bWZR5Oqrk9Sbg504Lc3YJh3-2F7Z6LyRBz1O-2BN3P0IYDRcoifJQ1wZUvJGLEbBP0OzDeDyqUHp3fNNymJ4chT9SZ0unq4FLD7A8ukxNa1Q65bLXtZXyTOmkvgZRpMYbT70D7dvsfm9EFJGdnPlfZDazpbVbcrFk9nQVRNhEraPmVtuuEYw8xKx4tCgUBNa5PEFO-2B2GVjNxrf0VYlAFeoFgyDz8M-3D\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/link.mediaoutreach.meltwater.com\/ls\/click?upn=AlH1yS0uSiq1JGVPtfLo2SyB9AfHojGSYhE8WOvVmCfxOTQ6940yvlB-2Bz6lzUHBAtVt-2FO1cOXC0DJGFV6m8-2FO3EVzUZ5jEqhk653R83tmjZsHEeuhIAe7cbp56re-2Fhwyv7Tlb5Eh-2FZwVOs5lquZGjQ-3D-3DmKlt_nEIm22qrbApkxslBlN0c5wQHpuBv4jK4UE4A4XJ0KISYcCI3I5k0PDDxOlupU3G4M6l0xt7oW7I7y7qQzeQhqEMZUfAXZD8jn1IEYWeG81Qtct1lOFOY1RxToTwrAXo6a1RTrCbvlYLbKOkcdiVA97cxfFGuyTtBWfSpl6DOyYLFxRwmTe1WVpeexIxDfotgbU9zDDrDC4Abi1Yol2bWZR5Oqrk9Sbg504Lc3YJh3-2F79l5xPg1roHfFQ21Bj22tnBC-2BtQ-2BEp1Tu7H-2F6Hv0iBUVGwZW9RDytFWM8q5lVtaRSCHleuLaDecrJgyL9BlwzV4xu7vTvtHrlpIOBxE-2BHlEEiX3GJKMg95HhxdO-2B7tbOhxD11JyB1-2FtaDmrOM2yVp4if4YcVFuV7p0cALqfZmuvsz-2FAuumQjQgCpdR-2BGQVIzo-3D\">Barnes &amp;\u00a0Noble<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About The Author<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kim Moog is an expert author, speaker and mentor.
