Rated 5 starsThe very best parenting book and the only one you'll need
I came across this book in Australia 9 years ago and inmediately bought one. I still use it today. It is the only "parenting" book that I've found truly useful.

It is a wonderful tool for developing ethics and integrity, learning about virtues and values, your own and others' and what...

Rated 5 starsFantastic book for incorporating a family meeting night
I introduced this book to our family as a "family meeting night" guide. We choose one of the 52 virtues per week, learn all about it, and practice it during the oncoming week. My four children love it, and enjoy pointing out when they see a virtue being used. Kids growing up in the world today need all the help they can get. This is an excellent resource for parents!
