50 plus one Great Life Lessons to
Teach Your Children

You want them to enjoy the best life has to offer–a safe and warm home environment, good education, nice things, financial security and great memories. But as experts and advisors, Ann Heinz and Joan Munson remind us, these may not be the most important things in a child’s life.

What may be far more crucial to your children’s well-being are the life lessons you teach them everyday, day in and day out. Some simple lessons, basic for survival, are imparted verbally every day: Look both ways when you cross the street or do not talk to strangers. But many of the most important life lessons-one concerning values, conduct, religion, money and ethics-are the product of years of direct training and indirect influence, including your own everyday behavior. What are those lessons you want to leave with your kids? What should you do to influence and teach them about:

• School issues, such as making friends and dealing with bullies.
• Respect for others, for different cultures and religions.
• The importance of honesty and ethics.
• How to deal with stress and how to solve problems in their own lives.
• The old fashioned values of patience, charity and forgiveness.
• Individual self worth and how they view themselves.
• How to deal with change, becoming flexible and adapting well.
• Sense of responsibility–money, smoking and food.

There is so much you want to teach them, so many ways you want to influence their lives for the good. Parents rarely have formal teaching sessions with children and not every child can and should have such high standards that they are impossible to meet. But with the help of Fifty plus one Great Life Lessons to Teach Your Children you will get sound, thoughtful, sensitive and practical advice on what is and is not important and how you can help your child internalize your values and your ideals.
