Right From Wrong Instilling A Sense Of Integrity In Your Child

Integrity is not simply something that happens as a result of unconditional love, healthy genes, or good luck; it emerges, if it does, because as a parent you make it important and you choose to exercise influence in this arena. Combining stories of children in their natural settings with compassionate, indepth analysis and pragmatic counsel, Right From Wrong makes the promotion of integrity possible, feasible, indispensable. With valuable lessons on using praise, honesty, questioning, listening, and discipline in a constructive way, you will learn how to foster integrity in your children, making them people whom we admire as well as people who are proud of themselves.
