This book shares, for the first time in print, the unique
methods and concepts that cultivate caring and compassion in
children, developed and fine-tuned during thirteen years work at
Kids Korps USA by its award-winning founders. "Dreaming about a
child's future begins long before the child is actually born. We
wish for them to be happy, successful, well adjusted and healthy.
Unfortunately, the world sends mixed messages and children do not
just download these qualities. How do we as parents ensure that our
children have the empathy and integrity that we dreamed they would?
How do we fight the all too human attributes of selfishness,
self-absorption, complacency, bullying and isolation and teach
children to care?" - from "Teaching Kids to Care". By focusing on
the five caring "Touchstones," connection, interdependence,
perspective, gratitude and inspiration, they offer ways to surround
their children with actions and messages designed to strengthen
character, build self-esteem and develop inner contentment. Even
parents with the most chaotic schedules can use each chapter's
simple suggestions for reinforcing every Touchstone in 30-second,
30-minute, 3-hour or 3-day increments.
