4.0étoiles sur 5 Guidance to help you and your family to develop character over time., Sep 30 2009
I've got the opportunity to review the book Character Is The Key through Mom Central Canada. I knew well that it was a secular book but I was still curious at what it would convey as message.
I won't hide the fact that we are Christians and homeschooling. My oldest son was in school for two years and has experience the "let's encourage the kids to develop good character" at school. Honestly, I am still wondering how they picked the students to receive the special mention of the month... There were times where I wondered what the teacher was thinking when she picked a specific student for one of the awards. I later learned that the objective was that all students went on the award wall... Yes you read it right - all students.
Personally, I think the responsibility of teaching your children about values and character should go to the parents. But in these times, when divorce is high or both parents are working, when everyone seems to be running around like a chicken without a head, I sense this task is not a priority. That is very unfortunate... It is interesting that the schools are now seeing the importance of teaching this to the students now.
I was curious to see what this book would "teach" to the parents. The author specifies from the beginning that parents need to find the time to reinforce the character of their children and work with the school. After all, we all know that children learn from their parents, right? Indeed they do and if you go to the store, realize when you are back at your car that you forgot to pay for something and don't go back - they learn that it's okay to steal... no matter what it is! Let me tell you a story... I went shopping one day with my oldest and my newborn. I had the stroller with the baby car seat installed on it. I had put a roll of wrapping paper in the basket under the stroller. I paid for the rest of my stuff and went back to the van. I put back the car seat of the baby in its gear, buckle up my oldest and start unloading in the trunk... That's when I saw the wrapping paper. Shoot! Totally forgot to pay for it. So I unbuckle my oldest and put back the baby's car seat on the stroller and walked back inside the Wal-Mart with the wrapping paper in my hands. You should have seen the surprised face of the cashier when I told her I forgot to pay for the wrapping paper... she couldn't believe it. But I had a 3 year old who was observing and learning from this event. It was important for me to make sure he knew mommy would not steal and that honesty is very important! As a parent, I think it is essential to use the opportunities that come to us to become a teachable moment. This could be applied to anyone - from little ones to teenagers.
The book is divided in three sections. Part one of the book focuses on the modeling of values and handling conflicts (especially if you are divorced). You will also learn how to team up with your kids and how to join forces with the educators. Part two of the book gives you directions on how to implement a family plan and how to establish family monthly meetings. Part three of the book provides some guidance on what a monthly meeting should focus on i.e. one of the ten crucial characteristics presented in the book (respect, honesty, fairness, courage, perseverance, responsibility, empathy, initiative, integrity and optimism). This section is particularly interesting as each chapter covers one of the character issues to work on. In the chapter, you will read some examples and discover a specific activity to do with your family to reinforce the lesson to learn.
I was quite pleased with what I read. Mind you, I don't agree with everything the author wrote about how to deal with disobedience and so on but since this is a touchy subject for everyone I won't elaborate too much on it. But I find this book will be a good help for parents who don't have a Christian background and realized that some changes should be made in their family unit. The author elaborates a strategy that is feasible for anyone who is willing to work on their relationships as a family. She also suggests some very interesting activities for each character issues covered in the book. I particularly love having new ideas to implement with my family - ideas that can become some teachable moments are especially a bonus.

5.0étoiles sur 5 An Awesome Look at a Matter Intrinsic to our Kids (and Our) Wellbeing!!, Oct. 2 2009
Par Kim Galway (Toronto, Ontario) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
It has been said that our children are sent to teach us more than we can
ever teach them. A book like Character is the Key seems to introduce an
even more profound concept: the focus of character evolution, development
and nurturing is something we can do simultaneously with our children.
This easy to read book offers a fascinating look at attributes, within the
context of interplay between parent and child. Better yet, it begs the question most parents fear answering honestly, "what kind of role model am I for my children?". This book helps parents and children find comfort and self-forgiveness in their short comings, and is written in a way that
inspires the reader to self-improve. The exercises in the book are seeds of enlightenment for families and fun to do as activities. Character is at the heart of all we are. "Character is the Key" is a definitive guide to all we can become as parents, as children, as happy, healthy, productive individuals.
