This book helps parents generate thoughtful dialogue, instill responsibility, and encourage independence with their kids through a variety of techniques grounded in positive character traits. Parents can influence their kids' attitudes and feelings toward making right choices not because it is advantageous, but rather because it is the right thing to do. You've probably asked your kids questions like, "How was your day?" or "What was the best thing that happened to you today?" And you've probably heard them mutter, "Fine." or "Nothing." As parents, we are always looking for ways to draw our kids into conversations to see how they are responding to the world around them. One of the keys to getting kids to talk, really talk, is to help them make the connection between their daily choices and their character. The techniques in this book can help kids develop answers to difficult situations and realize the importance of positive character traits when making day to day choices.
