Bringing Out the Best in Children and Ourselves
A key principle of The Virtues Project is that parents are the first educators, those best able to impart values and virtues to their children.
"How to instill do-the-right-thing virtues in your children…parents are always saying children don't come with a guidebook. This [The Family Virtues Guide] is one. This helps you to get them on the right track of leading a good life." Oprah (during Linda Kavelin-Popov's guest appearance on the Oprah show)
Building Kids Resilience: Parenting with Virtues
- Would you like family communication to be more peaceful and respectful?
- Would you like your family to take responsibility for their own actions?
- Are your children capturing the 'teachable moments' in their mistakes and making new choices?
- Would you like to learn to set clear boundaries with relevant consequences (and no power struggles)?
- Learn five strategies and 52 virtues that build your kids strengths and resilience and lessen their vulnerability to bullying, being bullied or standing by while another is bullied.
The Virtues Project is based on a model of parenting which is neither permissive nor dominant, nor does it advocate that parent and child have interchangeable roles and equal say. Rather, it is based on a model of the parent as educator. The authority of a parent is in the service of a child's learning.
The goal of effective parental authority is to enable children to develop their own inner authority, a sense of personal responsibility and an ability to make conscious moral choices. (from The Family Virtues Guide by Linda Kavelin Popov)
