Raising Kids Who Care: About Themselves, About Their World, About Each Other by Kathleen O’Connell Chesto (9780764810060): Raising Kids Who Care eases the overwhelming task of helping children grow ethically in an amoral world. Parent and family educator Kathleen Chesto maintains that as a parent, you should start where you are, in the family, and concentrate on key values. Raising Kids Who Care shows how empathy for others, in a child’s imagination and in relationship, is the foundation on which to build all ethical behavior. Chesto addresses the common behavioral problems parents face in modeling character in children. She demonstrates with examples from experience how to lead a child through sibling rivalry, how to deal with lying as a coping skill, what to do about crises of divorce, sex, and latchkey situations. Beyond behaviors, Raising Kids Who Care is a resource book coaching parents in the skills needed to motivate kids who will care about themselves, the kind of world they live in, and about the people they meet and deal with in the daily course of their lives. Raising Kids Who Care is a valuable primer for everyone involved in the care of raising of children, whether as a parent, grandparent, teacher, youth leader, or care-giver.
