This work is intended for ages 7+. This new interactive book encourages parents and teachers to talk to children about their values and helps kids formulate their own personal value system in the face of peer pressure, even when following their own conscience means going it alone. The twenty-five contemporary scenarios presented are situations that children can easily identify with, and the questions at the end of each chapter encourage productive, in-depth discussions about the moral choices suggested by a particular story. Readers can easily personalise each short tale or use them as jumping-off points to make up their own problem scenarios to fit specific circumstances. Above all, this is a fun book! Kids will enjoy reading through each short situation and then deciding what they would do.
