some good ideas for things to talk about with your child about values, but I'm not interested in developing a twelve month program for my child. Aimed more for the large Christian family set. ( )

Divided into 12 monthly teachable values this book gives "lesson plans" for preschoolers, and elementary age children along with a story (sometimes two or more), guidelines for parents, simple games and disussions that further illustrate the topic for the child/ren over the course of a month.

Although major Christian values are covered, Christian parents may notice that God is not directly mentioned as this book was written generically (with no biblical reference) but there is room for you to add your religious belief and doctrine although you will have to do the footwork yourself (look up scripture reference and incorporate God into the little stories).

Values are divided into two catagories: values of being (who we are) and Values of Giving (what we do). They include:
honesty, courage, peaceability, self-reliance, discipline, fidelity/chastity, loyalty, respect, unselfishness, kindless, and justice and mercy. ( )
