It's far better for you as a teacher, parent or mentor to take control and use the news as a chance to help your child grow. There are only 20 of them to cover our general teaching goals for life skills education. Each one has a collection of discussion topics and activities to help your child grow. Look for actions and consequences - This is one of the most important life skills concepts to impart to your children. Every action produces results.
Good actions produce good results.
Organized actions produce organized results. You child is ultimately responsible for his or her actions. Every news story is about someone doing something and what happened. Use our discussion topics to talk about the stories. Too often, the media focuses on negative stories.
