Teaching Your Children Values (Abridged) Audiobook

" For this new year, we are using this book, and the Book of Nurturing, to shape our Family Home Evenings. I like the way the Eyre's present their material in easy, organized ways. So far it has been fun to implement some of their ideas. "

" I liked the idea of having a value that you focus on each month. The different teaching methods and activities (depending on ages) were helpful too. I think mostly I would come up with my own lessons on teaching it but this book is good as a reference. "

" So, this is another reference book. I have not read it cover to cover. However, I am planning to use this book for 2010 to actually teach and remind my kids of these values. Some of the values include: Honesty, Courage, Self-discipline, Loyalty, Kindness, etc. These and others are all things I like to see my kids be. Maybe I'll report back in Jan. 2011 on how it went... "

" Very good. One to re-read over and over. I think I'll go do that now... "

" What a great book! This book has great practical ideas for teaching preschoolers, elementary schoolers, and adolescents different values discussed in the book. I only read the preschool sections because that's what applied to me, so I haven't actually read the entire book. But what I read was fantastic. "

" Great book! I want to start teaching Colton a value a month, like this book teaches. Since he's 4, not all of these values are applicable to his life right now so I picked 6 and will teach those. I love that the book had ideas for teaching preschoolers, school-aged kids, and also teens with specific examples. I'd recommend this book to everyone with kids, no matter their ages. "

" Great practical suggestions that any good family does, or should, incorporate! This is a good book that just makes me stop and think (maybe creates a slight feeling of inadequacy, guilt and stress!) These people sound like they have the patience of JOB! All I can say is, my best is no where near theirs, so the Lord will have a much greater difference to make up! That is probably why I only had 4 kids instead of 9. "

" So far, so good. Can tell it was written in the early 90's, but the principles are eternal. "

" Wonderful resource for teaching children of all ages the tried and true values they should all have. "

" I seriously plan on rereading this book at least once a year! It is filled with such great ideas and suggestions! Love, love, love it! "

" I really enjoyed this book and want to start doing a monthly value like it recommends. I love the real life examples and the great teaching ideas which are categorized by age. This book is definitely going to be a good resource that I know I will use in raising my kids. "

" It's been a few years since I've read this, but I remember thinking I would use the ideas to teach my children values. I need to read it again. "

" I need to buy this book so I can work through the program with my kids. So far so good, but I had to return it to the library before I got through much of it. "

" Monthly format to teaching your kids values. Good tips and advice. More of reference than anything. "

" 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. "

" Great reference book... "

" Like most parenting books, this has some things that are compatible with our approach, and some things that aren't. I don't think I'd make any major changes to my parenting because of it, but there are a couple ideas I'll use. "

" The best parenting book I've read yet. The authors (husband and wife) suggest 12 values to teach your children that will bring happiness to their lives. Great tools and information! I'm following my friends idea (thanks, Rachelle) by planning next years FHE's around one value each month. "

" This book is a manual, I won't be finished for a while. I'm using it to teach values lessons to my young children and then we reinforce the values during the month (honesty, courage, responsibility, self mastery). So far so good - we are not perfect but ! "

" Love everything written by the Eyre's! "

" The authors have some good ideas on addressing family values. I probably won't be as organized as they are in teaching them though. For example, having awards during Sunday dinner seems like a little much to me. :) "

" This is a great book, and I'm reading it now for the second time. "

" Values are always important to teach children and this is a great series of books to read "

" A must have for all parents! I read it again and again "

" Great ideas and I really like their thinking. But it seems like the parents who are disciplined enough and can actually accomplish the goal and impliment the ideas set for them through this book, probably don't even need it. :) "

" Absolutely loved this one as well. It was practical and yet gave a lot of room in the methods to put my own personality into the values and teaching them. "

" Fabulous, practical, doable advice for teaching values in the home. A must have reference for my library. Will definitely be using this book frequently over the next 18 years! "

" I bought this book when my 16 year old was only 2 and it is still a favorite. I incorporate a lot of the lessons for family home evening. "

" I was introduced to this book when I was in college and attended a taping of the Oprah Winfrey Show. This couple intrigued back then and I still look through this book. Worth it! "
