Features: As parents, we worry about so many "problem children," and character development has become our greatest responsibility. We first hope they learn to be fair, honest, and kind, to respect and care for others, and to abide by laws and order. Only after that do we hope for their exceptionalism. Dr. Thomas Rikner, an international authority on quality education, divides children's moral development into six stages in this book. He elaborates on the value thinking and judgment abilities that adolescents should possess at each stage, as well as the methods parents can use to cultivate children's character and the responses parents should have when children deviate from the right path. It is a highly readable classic book that combines parental language and experience in the cultivation of adolescent character. This is a teaching guide for parents on children's education, and numerous examples of successful individuals tell us that a person's moral character, personality, willpower, adaptability, interpersonal skills, aesthetic ability, and other non-intellectual factors largely determine success and happiness.
The author divides children's growth into six stages based on their different characteristics from birth to adulthood. He elaborates on the value judgment abilities that adolescents should possess at each stage and the educational methods parents should adopt when children deviate from the right path. Starting from empirical theory and then applying theory to practice, the author provides parents with a complete and feasible method for cultivating non-intellectual factors.
