4.0 out of 5 stars Values All Families Can Live By, August 29, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: 365 Ways to Develop Your Child's Values (Paperback)

The ideas are practically presented in an easy to digest format -just one morsel of information a day to put into use. These ideas are not only for children, but adults could learn something as well.

A couple of ideas I particularly liked were: * Have a family motto each month, with the application visually depicted. Post it on the refrigerator or bulletin board, so everryone can learn it. * Encourage your child's EFFORTS by showing him how pleased you are when he tries hard and finishes. (rather than the outcome) * Avoid paying your children for chores that are a function of being part of the family. Instead, offer them a chance to earn extra money for doing chores beyond their daily duties.

These ideas are simple, effective and "do-able" for any family.

3.0 out of 5 stars Practical advice mixed with idealism, June 12, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: 365 Ways to Develop Your Child's Values (Paperback)

Develop Your Child's Values offers some practical ideas that can be integrated into daily life such as setting realistic limits or breaking down jobs into manageable parts. But it also gives ideas that are idealistic such as "Play energetic marching music in the morning to begin the day and soothing classical music in the evening before bed." What teen arises cheerfully to marching music? This book together with the other "365 Ways to..." books becomes repetitious.
