You have probably seen those excellent public service announcements telling you that talking to your children about drugs is one of the best ways to prevent them from engaging in substance use. Well, talking to your child about right and wrong in general is no different. It's not exactly the kind of word that might pop to mind when you think of Cities of Character, the uplifting international values awareness campaign that Topeka has joined as of today. The monthly poster is distributed in the newspaper the first Tuesday of the month. It also is available during the rest of the month at The Topeka Capital-Journal's front desk.
Most parents have the same nightmare.
They're afraid that all those years of building their child's character will be wasted once adolescent peers get their evil hands on the kid. Topeka is about to become a City of Character, and lots of folks are getting excited. The Rev. Barry Feaker, who serves as coordinator for the committee, said the committee is continuing with its planning to raise Topekans' awareness of 49 worthwhile character qualities.
