Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :30
This book is such a wonderful way to open up dialogue with yourchildren. They love to tell you what they would do and you get theopportunity to share your values at the same time. I really think this is a wonderful way to talk to your kids about peer pressure and right and wrong so they are prepared to make good decisions when the challenges actually arrive. I highly recommend this book to all parents.

Good questions but provide no answers
Rating Point :3 Helpful Point :5
The book provides thought provoking questions for kids but answers are not provided in the book. Although I know the right answers I dont the right way to explain it to my kid. Its very important for kids to understand what makes the correct answer "correct". The book is more useful for teachers, but its rather incomplete for parents like me.

Highly Recommended for Teachers, Parents, or Grandparents - American Authors Association Review

This book, the first in the series, is the kind of book that I sought out when raising my young children. Humphrey, a licensed psychologist, does not preach values to children. Instead, she uses her years of experience to introduce twenty-five scenarios followed by a series of questions. These questions, ideal for teachers leading classroom discussions or for parents engaged in daily readings with their children, do not explicitly state a right course of action, but allow children to explore and fine-tune their own moral compass. The effect is the development of a childs own sense of fairness and what makes actions inherently right or wrong. I highly recommend this book, and the others in the series, for any teacher, parent, or grandparent interested in pursuing lively discussions regarding ethics and behavior with children.

We have children ranging from 6-11 who all love this book. It has become part of our dinner ritual to choose a story and take turns responding to the ethical challenges.

A great book to help teach children decision making.

I really enjoyed this book. There is no right, nor wrong answer. The situations that the child needs to made a decision about, are real life, and believable. I have reccomended this book to all of my teacher friends. Thank you Ms. Humphrey
