About What Do You Stand For? For Teens: A Guide To
Product Description Young people need guidance from caring adults to build strong, positive character traits—but they can also build their own. This book by the best-selling author of The Kid’s Guide to Social Action invites children and teens to explore and practice honesty, kindness, empathy, integrity, tolerance, patience, respect, and more. Quotations and background information set the stage. Dilemmas challenge readers to think about, discuss, and debate positive traits. Activities invite them to explore what they stand for at school, at home, and in their communities. True stories profile real kids who exemplify positive traits; resources point the way toward character-building books, organizations, programs, and Web sites. From School Library Journal This book, a compendium of ideas, activities, and resources, helps young people explore who they are and develop positive traits such as caring, good citizenship, empathy, respect, peacefulness, and responsibility. Teachers, counselors, and parents will want to know about this book, as kids are not likely to pick it up on their own. Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc. Review “Read, America!"
