Rating: Summary: Awesome for teachers!!! Review: I am a special ed. teacher, grades K through 4, and this book is an absolutely wonderful resource in teaching my students how to get along, cooperate, and be kind to one another. It's really a complete character education program, and the kids think it's fun. I love the way kind words appear with increasing frequency in their vocabularies. I am sure it would also be an excellent resource for regular education classrooms, and for parents with 2 or more children (it's really designed for a group setting).
Rating: Summary: A user friendly guide to teaching values to young children Review: The book consists of ten chapters, one devoted to each value: cooperation, courage, friendship, honesty, kindness, loyalty, respect, self-control, sharing, and tolerance. Each chapter includes an introduction to the values, a list of suggestions for families to help them reinforce the value at home, a "script" to explain the value to children, a fingerplay, a story with thought-provoking questions, three activities or games, community connections, and a reading list. The approach is based on parents, teachers, and communities working together to help children become value-able people!I am the author and would love to hear your feedback.
