Golden Rules: 10 Ethical Values Parents Need to Teach Their Children
Golden Rules 10 Ethical Values Parents Need to Teach Their Children Author:Wayne D. Dosick In the early 1950's teachers were asked to list the top five problems in their classrooms. They responded: talking out of turn, chewing gum, making noise, running in the hall and cutting in line. Four decades later this question was asked of teachers once again: the replies were startling: drugs and alcohol, guns and knives, pregnancy, suicide a... more »nd rape. Is it any wonder that more than three-quarters of all Americans believe that this country is in serious moral and spiritual decline? What can we do to save our children?
Wayne Dosick knows that we cannot afford to wait on our schools, government or even religious institutions to provide solutions, and that in truth both the responsibilty and the response lie very close to home. With warmth and wisdom, Dosick speaks directly to parents about the ethical values today's children need to learn, and shows the ways to convey them.
In ten brief chapters -- richly illustrated with stories, anecdotes, parables, proverbs, and real-life examples -- Dosick teaches and guides parents and children to the essential values of Respect, Honesty, Fairness, Responsibility, Compassion, Gratitude, Friendship, Peace, Maturity, and Faith.
