Making the Character Connection, Tape 2 : Preschool 3-5 year olds/Elementary 6-10 year olds

Summary: Character Building
Review: I highly recommend listening to Making the Character Connection. The format of a group of women speaking with a moderator lends itself to a very well laid out flow of different views that address very important issues in child-raising. It was so different than the regular "lecture" format. The diversity of lifestyles introduced different perspectives. As you were listening, you felt that you were a part of the group. The vignettes that the participants volunteered were very realistic and made their views very relatable. I learned more from these tapes than I have from reading the countless books from child-rearing experts. These tapes are great!!

Summary: Character Connection
Review: The Character Connection tapes reflect the best of what clinical wisdom and behavioral science have to offer on rearing healthy children and youth. Inherent in this approach is the recognition that relationship rather than manipulative tactics and stratetgies is the key to successful parenting. The conversational format complements the message by being interactive rather than dydactic. Principles of successful parenting emerge through discussion of concrete, real-life questions and situations. I recommend Character Connection to both prospective and current prents as a guide to the most important endeavor adult life has to offer.

Summary: How to Bring Up the Child You Want
Review: This tape series has a lot going for it: It draws on the knowledge base of a psychology specialist, it provides practical information about what to expect from your growing child, and it answers questions about what to do in real childhood situations. It is styled as a meeting between a variety of mothers and an informed group leader. This brings up a discussion of real-life situations that could happen in lots of different children. Understanding complex childhood issues becomes fun. Professionally, I respect these tapes and the up-to-date information they present. .
