Aus dem Klappentext
This is a book about goodness, and specifically about what educators and parents can do to foster goodness. Nineteen experts in the fields of child development, character education, moral growth, and spiritual development offer their top suggestions for nurturing a better world for tomorrow. Their suggestions offer specific differences and remarkable consistency. The differences relate primarily to the field of the author s expertise. The consistency points to an already-established set of practices that, in both parenting and education, lead to climates that foster the growth of empathy and altruism, to climates where consciences develop and moral reasoning skills grow.The logic of setting high standards, of high levels of nurturance and support, of giving young people meaningful roles to play in both family and school life, and of creating school and family climates that nurture trust and the development of warm interpersonal relationships is so compelling in Good Things to Do that it behooves all of us to do our part to follow these suggestions.Contributors: Patrick F.
