For Goodness Sake: Supporting Children and Teens in Discovering Life's Higher Values (Living Wisdom Book for Parents, Teachers, and Youth Group Le)
Today's children need more than academic education--they also need positive values for making the most of their education and their lives. Selfishness, greed, and moodiness are common--but treatable!--burdens for many children. Michael Nitai Deranja offers simple-to-use, effective activities to help children learn--from their own experience--that expressing virtue actually brings them more happiness. Ages 4 to 17 will have fun with these activites as they explore seventeen different values, including cooperation, concentration, integrity, willingness, and many others. As children learn through direct, personal experience, these positive values become part of their lives.
