Building a Championship Family - Gary P. Dehrer

Lost in the increasingly frenetic pace of modern life are those simple but crucial moments between parent and child that lay the foundation for a productive and happy future. Stressing classic American values such as honesty, patriotism, loyalty, respect, integrity, and the pursuit of happiness, Building a Championship Family shows parents how to teach their children to focus on character values through exciting exercises that make learning fun. Using a unique combination of advice and activities, author Gary P. Dehrer structures the book around 24 fundamental moral values. Each gives a lesson designed to coach children, followed by an activity that applies the value. Using simple, direct prose, Dehrer offers strategies that motivate children to participate in family activity planning, communicate with each other, build stronger relationships, define goals and find motivation, while parents reap the benefits of dramatic improvement in their children and their family's relationships.
