Everyone wants their children to be happy, responsible, and well adjusted, but there's no rulebook to teach parents how to do so--until now.

Focusing on one key value a month, the whole family can learn together through twelve fun and family-friendly activities, including:

Keeping a Gratitude Board

Creating Respect Tiles

Making a Compassion in Action Calendar

Hosting an Earning for Learning Gameshow

Starting a Life Map

By inspiring common values such as lifelong learning, a sense of joy, and respect for others, this unique guide offers purposeful advice for raising joyful, thoughtful children--who will make their world a better one to live in.

My son just started Preschool last month and we had a parent teacher conference and she was telling my how polite my son was saying thank you, please and your welcome. Of course I said thank you for saying that but she said I don't think you understand I've been a teacher for 5 years and only heard that with 2 students. I was shocked how many children grow up without knowing common values. This was a excellent book and I hope others enjoy it as well.
