Teaching Kids to Care Nurturing Character and Compassion

Teaching Kids to Care shares, for the first time in print, the unique methods and concepts that cultivate caring and compassion in children, developed and fine-tuned during thirteen years work at Kids Korps USA by its award-winning founders. They ask: how do we as parents ensure that our children have the empathy and integrity that we dreamed they would? By focusing on the five caring ?Touchstones, ? connection, interdependence, perspective, gratitude and inspiration, they offer ways to surround their children with actions and messages designed to strengthen character, build self-esteem and develop inner contentment. Even parents with the most chaotic schedules can use each chapter's simple suggestions for reinforcing every Touchstone in 30-second, 30-minute, 3-hour or 3- day increments.Wolf, Joanne is the author of 'Teaching Kids to Care Nurturing Character and Compassion', published 2007 under ISBN 9781571745484 and ISBN 1571745483.
