The author provides a framework for guidance and discipline for young parents with children under 12. Anyone interested in cooping with the forces of consumerism has to begin well before the onset of puberty. This short book, originally published as a Scepter booklet in 1988 and frequently reprinted, helps parents strategize - forming character and respecting freedom. - learning the seven strengths of character. - detecting the danger signals for character weaknesses that lie in the home itself.
I just read this book again, a firm reminder that it is the family that makes all the difference, and that we cannot leave it up to outside social structures to teach our children the character traits they will need to be successful adults.
