Teaching Your Children Values

Rating:
Summary: UNREALISTIC
Review: Maybe in the perfect world children act as this book illustrates. If parents made children have such family discussions and play such games as the authors describe, the children would crack up laughing (especially school age children and adolescents). The book has about 7 games and discussions methods that they just change words to apply to different values. They receive two stars only because they did make some good points, such as teach by example, praise, and listen. However the rest of the book is filled with stupid games that no child I know would ever play. I, honestly, feel bad for their nine children who had to experience all these stupid discussions and games. Also, monetary awards do almost nothing for children, and that is the award type the Eyre's use. So, in effect, they are paying the childrent to play those stupid activities.

Summary: ...a Latin American Perspective
Review: Most countries in LAR face emergency-type living more than often. One is constant facing unexpected events, working long shifts to deal with inefficiencies and lack of resources. In such a context, priorities get sometimes turned up-side-down and you may find people very concerned with so basic things. This book is a MUST-READ for every parent in the LAR environment who deeply cares about parenting and is fighting to succedd in an adverse set of circumstances...

Summary: Good Teaching Guide
Review: This is a good book for both parents and teachers who are concerned with teaching good values to the younger generation. The authors have illustrated that values can be inculcated in children or even adolescents through simple methods.
