Synopsis

A practical analysis and inspiring guide for teaching kids "ethical fitness" Parents are beginning to realize that deficiencies in ethics and character are becoming a big problem among our nation's children. According to the latest data, lying, cheating, and rampant insensitivity to other people are increasingly common. What can parents do? In this book, ethics expert Rushworth Kidder shows how to customize interventions to a child's age and temperament. He encourages parents not to give up, since what they do can always make a difference, regardless of how long or deep the bad habits of dishonesty may be. Encourages parents to intervene early and re-establish children on the right course Explores the keys to ethical behavior: honesty, responsibility, respect, fairness, and compassion All of Kidder's practical advice is based on the latest psychological and neuroscientific research about how kids develop character and learn what's right and wrong.

It′s a must–read for every family." — Rear Admiral Barry C. Black (Ret.) , Chaplain of the United States Senate and former Navy Chief of Chaplains "I just loved this book, especially all the anecdotes and stories. [I] couldn′t put it down. It′s a lesson study illustrating vividly the moral dilemmas that parents and kids of all ages face daily, providing a beacon of light into the dark confusion over how to raise good kids." — Patrick F. Bassett , president, National Association of Independent Schools "As they read Kidder′s true stories illustrating ethical dilemmas kids face from toddlerhood into young adulthood, concerned parents will tell themselves, ′I can relate to that.′ When they see how he parses each story′s complex ethical issues and shows ways to apply abiding principles to these everyday situations at various stages of their children′s lives, parents will say, ′We can model that and teach it to our kids!′" — Jim Rettig , university librarian, Boatwright Memorial Library, University of Richmond; past president of the American Library Association
